Nearing the end of a race that will span a total of eight months, French skipper Franck Cammas’ team solidify their lead with a victory at Lisbon. Close behind was overall third-place boat PUMA, and overall second-place boat Telefonica had a rough race that put them in last.
The June 2nd event took place at Surf City Yacht Club in New Jersey, and served as the US Singlehanded Championships Area C Elimination regatta. 7 races took place. Clay Johnson won the full rig class, with only 6 points after his drop, and Kelly McGlynn won the radial class, again with only 6 points. Photo Credit: Jon Deutsch, www.jdeutsch.com
Current overall leader Groupama took first place, while PUMA battled back for a well-deserved second place finish. CAMPER (with Emirates Team New Zealand) snagged the last podium spot, while overall second-place boat Telefonica came in last. Telefonica’s poor finish resulted partially from a penalty on PUMA immediately after the start and partially from a snapped masthead halyard.

Leg 5 of the Volvo Ocean Race was noteworthy primarily for the damage done to boats throughout the fleet, with five of six boats sustaining significant damage and two of six dropping out of the leg. Is the Volvo Open 70 rule to blame?
