Leg 8 finish Lorient

Did anyone else follow the 1-minute live 2-D tracker for many hours each day
?

Wouldn't it be something if it all comes down to an in-port race in Galway.

by Meltemi 6/15/2012 1:00:35 PM

@CoachMat: long time ago mate, long time

by redkiwi 6/15/2012 1:00:38 PM

would back niche against Kenny and Frank any day .... who would go underwater to rewire a pump to save a boat from sinking at 50 deg south?

by Floraville 6/15/2012 1:00:39 PM

Felicitaciones Groupama, great race, vamos Puma que todavia podemos.

by Pablo 6/15/2012 1:00:42 PM

Snaggy did a rudder repair on Puma that kept them in the race!

by footlong 6/15/2012 1:03:02 PM

@ ED : want to change the rules after the race. Interesting idea to prevent a french team from winning the race. Another idea like this one ? No mainsale for GP4 from now on or something like that ?

french speaker just got a little too patriotic..

by ben 6/15/2012 1:06:23 PM

THANX to VOR for unexpected streaming of live coverage .... despite criticism of French coverage and commentary ... (they don't get to win much - so a little time in the sun is OK)

by Floraville 6/15/2012 1:06:29 PM

Well done Puma, You are still my champions

by Neil Tupper 6/15/2012 1:08:53 PM

Brilliant live footage of PUMA being escorted to port... what an enthusiastic group of boaters they have there!

by Kikon 6/15/2012 1:11:28 PM

It's a shame the chance of winning the overall race for the fastest boat of the fleet / Telefonica is lost.

by Altan 6/15/2012 1:11:30 PM

WATCHING ALL AVAILABLE AT ALL TIMES I CAN :) 2D, 3D, UPDATES, WEATHER, BLOGS, LIVESTREAM, PODCASTS, PHOTOS, BERG SITE, BUT BEING HERE IS MY FAVORITE :)

by Capt Joei 6/15/2012 1:11:33 PM

Que pena o Telefônica hein. Aqui em Brasil estamos tristes...

by Ventoesom 6/15/2012 1:11:36 PM

@ Capt Joel. The Tele recovery after the first rudder break was intense (as the Azores rounding). Speeds were incredible. It as if I was at sea, feeling the surfing with the speed increases, then imagining the strain on the rigs and crews as the boats speeds slowed in the updates. Addictive.

by stief 6/15/2012 1:11:40 PM

Well done Groupama.. a dream finish in home waters and kudos to the coverage

by Tronski 6/15/2012 1:11:42 PM

Very bad for Telefonica!! Sorry!

by Ventoesom 6/15/2012 1:11:44 PM

by TEAM GREEN FAN 6/15/2012 1:12:01 PM

camper just got past Groupama3, round-the-world record tenant at some point, and single handedly sailed by Franck Cammas in last years "Route du Rhum" -> psychological impact for camper boys :-)

by ben 6/15/2012 1:12:04 PM

Yay! Kiwi Music...Congratulations Camper.

by Elizabeth Sandford 6/15/2012 1:12:07 PM

Looks like even Sanyo might pass Telephonica, ouch

by melges419 6/15/2012 1:12:13 PM

Who took second ???

by baldymore 6/15/2012 1:12:17 PM

Congrats Groupama, way to extend! Go Puma, slight chance for overall but looks like second podium spot is going to be a dogfight!

by melges419 6/15/2012 1:12:20 PM

Go Camper!!

by Hercegovac 6/15/2012 1:12:27 PM

Sailing rockets in the house tonight

by Capt. Joei 6/15/2012 1:12:32 PM

GO PUMA

by Puma 6/15/2012 1:12:34 PM

Well done Franck Cammas and Groupama team - great win.

by Marcus 6/15/2012 1:13:03 PM

Every Sailor just have a good time!

by Capt. Joei 6/15/2012 1:16:07 PM

well done groupama. you are the best !

by punga 6/15/2012 1:16:09 PM

Capt. Joei, sounds like a great plan! I will be happy to settle for a sail on the bay to watch the leaders come in, if I can manage it.

by Matt.Fahey 6/15/2012 1:16:12 PM

Good on ya Camper

by Wazzav 6/15/2012 1:16:14 PM

Capt Joei, when do you get to Galway?

by Matt.Fahey 6/15/2012 1:16:17 PM

What has happened to Sanya ??????

by Dickireland 6/15/2012 1:16:20 PM

At last a live coverage of the arrival ! Bravo la VOR.

by Vincent 6/15/2012 1:16:22 PM

by grem 6/15/2012 1:16:24 PM

Will Livestream pick up local TV coverage in Galway? That would be a treat!
