Talk about Cape Horn | Volvo Ocean Race 2014-15
March 29, 2015: Cape Horn is one of those special places that every offshore sailor wants to go to. It’s as close as you can get to Antarctica. The stories of Cape Horners going around in storm and tempest is the stuff of legends, so for every yachtsman, it’s one of those things they want to tick off. Rounding Cape Horn is the talk of the day on the boats!

Inside Track: Leg 4 Episode 12 | Volvo Ocean Race 2014-15 -  Feb 24, 2015
Out of the doldrums and into the straightaway! This one's for the die-hards, as we call to get updates from the two French navigators on the two red boats.

Volvo Ocean Race, Leg 4, Feb 24, 2015: Leg 4 to Auckland, day 16. "This is really unbelievable, now it’s so close,” Jens Dolmer whispers on Team Brunel. "Who will be the first to 'make the jump' in the wind and maybe stay ahead.” The freshly rebuilt confidence on Team Brunel gets a big bash with the latest position report, when they realise they're on the wrong side of the cloud. All the other boats get wind from the east and within a couple of hours Team Brunel lost 40nm to the leaders: MAPFRE, Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing and Dongfeng Race Team.
