why is puma so much faster than the others??

by meinhard 7/2/2012 3:43:22 PM
@Walkover: N current standings G4 grabs 15 points, Puma 30 points. So 10 point short of G4.

by Alex 7/2/2012 3:43:25 PM
Let's hope there is not another light air drama between tele and camper

by kevin 7/2/2012 3:43:55 PM
Downwind saling in light air to the finish.
Like Telefonica again.

by Trini 7/2/2012 3:43:56 PM
you are right Alex, but G4 needs to finish this leg to secure

by Donald 7/2/2012 3:44:02 PM
Puma pedal to the metal

by Straya 7/2/2012 3:44:04 PM
Ken said (about low wind zones): first in, first out. Go PUMA!

by impact 7/2/2012 3:44:07 PM
Oh. I messed up. Thats right. If G4 drop a place, and then losse the in port while puma wins it, then puma wins overall. Very unlikely.

Is it just me or is the live footage down?

by seriola 7/2/2012 3:44:11 PM
@algarve - Stop talking about me like that!!! I have my song ready!

by kiwiviv 7/2/2012 3:44:14 PM
Data tables currently showing between 15 and 18 knots of breeze, direction 233 to 240 degrees

@meinhard: it's the paintjob

by nikoweres 7/2/2012 3:44:23 PM
@Walkover, thr difference between 1 and 4 is 15 points. G4 is 25 points ahead, so if they finish 4, they win the race overall

by R.V.M 7/2/2012 3:44:43 PM
@VOR: THX!

by Hartmut J. Otto 7/2/2012 3:44:50 PM
Everybody knows that if you have a badass paint job you will be faster

by nikoweres 7/2/2012 3:44:53 PM
why did the paintjob not work earlier?

by meinhard 7/2/2012 3:44:56 PM
The live footage was a wonderful bonus, it was just up, there was no down!

by kevin 7/2/2012 3:45:07 PM
i think puma will be in the doks by six

by penguin 7/2/2012 3:45:17 PM
Any boat that survived this race WINS!

Here's a highlights package of onboard footage from Leg 9 - www.youtube.com

by Volvo Ocean Race writer 7/2/2012 3:45:32 PM
@meinhard right! paint job and logo is important!

by Donald 7/2/2012 3:45:35 PM
Well happy Campers, while we were a hole, Ken and Barbie did a runner. Time to get our skates on again!

by Tafiwi 7/2/2012 3:45:41 PM
@ kevin nice phrasing

by stief 7/2/2012 3:45:47 PM
Puma gained 0,4NM vs. Camper in the last 30 Minutes...

by baltic 7/2/2012 3:46:26 PM
if G4 loses one place, score 10points, and Puma wins, scores 30 points => G4 lead is down to 5 points. If Puma wins inPort (6pts) and G4 finishes last (1pt), they are tied, but G4 has greater number of 1st place finishes overall, so G4 wins.

by calculator 7/2/2012 3:46:28 PM
Come on CAMPER!

by kiwiviv 7/2/2012 3:47:19 PM
G4 cant loose 1 place now... :-// think this is over

by fede from italy 7/2/2012 3:47:20 PM
Puma opened up again...nice work Ken. Keep that cat moving.

by Rudderman 7/2/2012 3:47:22 PM
I feel sorry for Puma for loosing their mast in the 1st leg. They performed so well but couldn't earn back the lost points.

by Friedrich 7/2/2012 3:47:26 PM
aaaah the table is back with distances

by baltic 7/2/2012 3:47:35 PM
@ friedrich agreee

by fede from italy 7/2/2012 3:47:47 PM
@calculator Exactly. Any "what-if" scenarios as a bonus? :)

by redkiwi 7/2/2012 3:47:55 PM
@frederich I feel bad for Telefonica to hiccup late and lose the overall race.

by Trini 7/2/2012 3:48:02 PM
come on Puma you can do it!!

by Christoph 7/2/2012 3:48:04 PM
lol@redkiwi

by calculator 7/2/2012 3:48:28 PM
and i feel sorry for tele too... they did so good .. but G4 did a great job overall, it cant' be denied

by fede from italy 7/2/2012 3:48:35 PM
CAMPER have to beat Telefonica

by kiwiviv 7/2/2012 3:48:44 PM
Long may your big jib draw Camper.

by Vancouver 7/2/2012 3:48:59 PM
Still 9 hours of racing, many things can happen.... stay cool !

by Corbatjean 7/2/2012 3:49:07 PM
Go Camper

by Vancouver 7/2/2012 3:49:08 PM
btw

by fede from italy 7/2/2012 3:49:31 PM
It is due to the paintjob that Puma was able to claw their way back from their rig loss in the first leg

by nikoweres 7/2/2012 3:49:38 PM
Its getting light and dark before the end. This race is a wayz from over

by Trini 7/2/2012 3:49:44 PM
That much is known
