Sensacional!. A regata Volvo Ocean Race é sempre uma emoção para os admiradores dos tradicionais monocascos, agora com a adoção dos "foils", e da cambagem utilizando-se os enroladores de genoa, evitando-se assim qualquer contratempo nesta manobra. Muito bom. Parabens a equipe "MAPFRE", pela belíssima vitória. Eu.
These boats are built to handle high seas and strong breezes, so sailing in light air is very trying. A noticeable omission is the spinnakers seen on many sailboats. Those 'parachutes,' as they are sometimes called, are not very useful for the Volvo race, and the limit on sails carried excluded spinnakers, I guess.
Sometimes, I wish that the Volvo organization would let silence occur during in-port races, as the commentators get to sounding inane trying to keep talking and talking.
Any no board camera action?

@volvooceanrace why no onboard video? We had this 2 editions ago and now no longer?
I wonder why they say 'Dong-fOng' and not 'Dong-fEng' as it is spelled???
Thanks for a nice day in Alicante! A perfect day with almost perfect sailing……… waiting for that brunel victory ?
Great commentary!
Great start to this years race – thanks for the upload even if some didn't understand the title. 😉

Please don't spoil the race with earlier videos
Why did you publish the winner in the race in the video description! Please don't do it for the next race.
Really great show though.
why was this not live or did i miss it?
