AUCKLAND STOPOVER

AUCKLAND STOPOVER


Finally leg 4 of the Volvo Ocean Race has come to an end. The girls of team SCA showed up the men's teams by winning leg 4 of the Volvo Ocean Race - Sanya to Auckland. Well done ladies. Spectators attended to Race Expo enmass and it appears that the displays in Auckland are somewhat different from what we became accustomed to in the previous 3 legs. 

The farewell ceremony was postponed due to  cyclone Pam. The In-Port race was a huge success and the teams were making preparations to leave for Leg 5.
