Bet they're nervous on Telefonica!!

by Shawn Plummer 1/4/2012 10:54:21 AM

by Igor Grishin 1/4/2012 10:55:02 AM
The coverage is very poor my tracker is still at 1000 UTC and what about the masthead cameras Volvo should look at the coverage of the Audi Med Cup

by Georgio nz 1/4/2012 10:56:47 AM
Vamos Telefonica from Crete,Greece

disqualification for Telefonica they dont send tracker signal every 60 s

by Paikea1 1/4/2012 10:57:15 AM
They are not happy on PUMA: "We're going slow. It stinks, but it's what's going on onboard PUMA right
now. We were overpowered so we put in a reef, now were underpowered so we're
taking it out. 19-20 knots almost on the nose. We've fallen in behind
Camper, firmly in 4th place. It was pretty amazing to watch Groupama just
take off...they're looking really fast right now. And Telefonica looks way
too far in front! But we're all working hard to stay positive here and keep
this thing going. The angles should widen up soon allowing for some faster
sailing. Maybe a chance to make up some ground? We've got about 20 miles
until the last mark--about an hour--before we bear away, set a downwind
sail, and head straight for Abu Dhabi"

Groupama's twitter feed is doing an excellent job of commenting on the progress of the fleet, but for those of you who demand it, here is the latest from Race Control: at 10:40 UTC, Telefónica (boat speed 16.39kts) leads Groupama by 0.14nm (16.30kts and E of the leader), CAMPER 3rd another mile back doing a little over 16kts, PUMA 1.5nm from the lead doing 16kts, and Abu Dhabi doing around 16kts, 6 miles behind Groupama.
