VOLVO OCEAN RACE FLAGS

VOLVO OCEAN RACE FLAGS

Abu Dhabi was flying its flags today. Looking at the picture immediately below, there are three smaller tangled flags between the mast and the Abu Dhabi red and yellow flag. The  Grey flag, -at the  top- is for Overall Race Leader, The Blue flag hanging in the middle reads  1st Leg Winner and the pink flag hanging at the  bottom reads in-Port Race Winner. The successive flags gives a better inkling of the inscriptions on the flags.   By the looks of things Abu Dhabi Racing appears to have a bright future in the the successive legs. Collectively their sailors have more than 20 years of sailing experience.

The three flags are fully visible but the writing is indistinguishable.

 yet readable saying In-Port Winner.

The words "OVERALL LEADER " is just above visible in the tangled Grey Flag

The words " IN-PORT RACE WINNER" is much clearer & 1st LEG WINNER reads back to front
