After the disappointment of yesterday, where we lost three out of four races, we did better today, winning four out of six. We even won a race where we had no jib up at the entry of the start and lost our main trimmer, Marco Constant over the side. He held on to the mainsheet and Paul and Peter got him back on board, while Taito took over the helm from Paul for a few hectic seconds. See the video below made by Pierre from Valencia sailing who was our guest for that race.

GREEN DRAGONPosted by Sander in Onboard, Photography, Racing, Sailing, VVOR, Volvo Ocean RaceI am joining the Green Dragon team on the last leg of the Volvo Ocean Race! I was the lucky one who was chosen by bwin to be the “12th person” on this leg. On behalf of bwin I will report on the progress during this last leg. If you are interested in a regular update you can follow me on Twitter. I will try to update as often as possible. This might be a nice experiment for the future of ocean racing. Without delay updates from the boat to your screen, iphone, blackberry or any other smartphone! Some Green Dragon photos I took at the start in Alicante. Must seem like a long time ago for the crew….. |
