Title: Sailing along the coast of Vietnam and defending the lead on the final 400 miles.
Date: 02-02-12
Leg: Leg 3
Description: On a pure upwind course heading to Sanya: that's how “Telefónica” is sailing, with a single objective in sight: Sanya (China), the end point of the third leg in this edition of the Volvo Ocean Race. Leading the fleet, the boat skippered by Iker Martínez is involved in a boat on boat battle with French entry “Groupama” and it looks like the match race between the two is likely to be kept up until the finish. Today the Spanish boat sailed along the coast of Vietnam and Andrew Cape could remember when his father had been there during the 60’s.
