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.
That is how you apparently pronounce it in Chinese (Mandarin). As the organizers go through great lengths not to insult the Chinese in any way, they have insisted to use this in press communications. At the same time they do not care a %!#$ about all other languages. Like it is 'AlicantÈ' in Spanish or 'Alecant' in Valencian. With a short A as pronounced in 'bAth' pronounced in the British way. NOT AElicantEEE'. Similarly, it is "Akzo-Nobel" again with this short A , not "AEkso-Nobel". They should EITHER pronounce all consistently in American English, OR pronounce all consistently in native pronunciation.
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.
Great start to this years race - thanks for the upload even if some didn't understand the title. ;-)

Thanks for a nice day in Alicante! A perfect day with almost perfect sailing......... waiting for that brunel victory 😁
Great commentary!
@volvooceanrace why no onboard video? We had this 2 editions ago and now no longer?
Any no board camera action?
why was this not live or did i miss it?
Was live on Facebook, probably on the website as well
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.
get the wed site.
ssidde, MAPFRE in the video description is because they were the main sponsor of the In-Port Race Alicante and it is not because they were the winner
No, it says that they were the winners
Ok, they were the winners and the main sponsor as well.
I think MAPFRE have the naming rights of the In-Port Race Alicante.
I wonder why they say 'Dong-fOng' and not 'Dong-fEng' as it is spelled???

Please don't spoil the race with earlier videos

Loud music and "jerky camera" are tedious and short lived because I X-out
