The Ocean Race Leg 5: Newport RI to Aarhus DK

[Swanno]

This will be a lottery to the finish for 2 and 3 and I cannot see HPRB losing 2nd....but I would love to see TM get it.
It will certainly spice up the leader board for the remainder of the race.

Stay tuned for a 4 hour jibing dual.

Looks they are going to make that cross but BARELY! The good thing: In about 30 Minutes the Sunrise will come up and then they can see each other.

Dude, if it's really that close that they make that cross 'barely' then trust me, they can see each other. With eyes, nav lights, AIS, camera's up the stick, radar and whatever else they have onboard, they don't have to wait for daylight to arrive to see the other boat...

Holcim has no instruments. Most of them are kaputt!

Lucky for them, there are at least 10 individual eyes onboard.

I can't watch.. sorry.

 

[Fiji Bitter]

Anything to see, really?

Instruments are very different from the things above

 

[Kenny Dumas]

I can understand jibing above or on nose , but cross and jibe???

 

[dg_sailingfan]

Holcim has soaked around that headland and now leads by a Mile!

 

[Kenny Dumas]

Nothing like boat speed to make a tactician look good

good sailing by 11th to hold off the Holcim juggernaut. impressive.

 

[Mrnogen]

They made another error. Instead of directly planting themselves in between Malizia and the Finish they now have allowed Team Malizia the Inside Lane and there is now a reasonable chance Malizia will roll them.

How's the armchair going @dg_sailingfan ?

Are they allowed to sail around with that big ball thing on the end of the deck spreader or is it just put there for docking...

If this finish is excruciating for me I can’t even begin to imagine what it line for Holcim PRB. Kevin and Charles in particular must be ready to break something.

Or hit somebody like the designer of those swivels.
