@ tbrowniscool All the boats in this video are Volvo 70 foot class monohulls. They were built around 2010-2011, so there is no way you've spotted them 8 or 9 years ago. What you might have seen is the former generation of volvo boats (60 foot), there was an edition of the race in 2005-2006, and especially Puma and Telefonica, that had very similar paint schemes in the 2 races. That might explain it.
3:56 he says "...un grand spot au-dessus de la tête..." (a spotlight above the head) translator confused "spot" and "pote" (friend). So corrected. I like things to be square and clean ;-))
Just a quick question for anyone that know... I watched one of these from about 8 years ago on TV i swear they were in those 3 hull boats? noobie watching.
14:15 so funny to hear a sailor on a sail boat use the word ROPE. there are no ROPES on a sailboat. but great respect to all involved boat crew and shore crew!!!
this was probably one of the easier legs so far. looking foward to sanya getting back in the race
