Groupama speed now a little bit as breeze dies a bit.
Many apologies for the outage there. We investigating the problem but glad to be back anyhow.
Music blaring in the Auckland Race Village as we wait for Groupama to come in and take first place in Leg 4.
Groupama zig-zagging towards the finish line
Groupama have led this leg since Day 7 and every one of their rivals has paid tribute to the way they have sailed. A mighty impressive performance.
The green Groupama sails are being lit up by the lights of the boats around them... Still going at quite a lick too.
Groupama 4 skirting the ferry lanes on the way to the finish.
Our prediction is that they will be over the line in five minutes
The French flags are waving and MC Hannah White has the crowd screaming. And that's something you have to hear to believe.
Meanwhile back out on the racecourse - CAMPER have closed to less than 2 nautical miles behind Team Telefónica....
Groupama have won Leg 4...!
Congratulations to Franck Cammas' crew for a near faultless leg from China to New Zealand.
Groupama finish time 10.33.47 UTC
