What makes the start for Volvo 65's just like any other start? You can be over. See (and hear) for yourself. We didn't win but the good news is I got to sail Brunel from outside the harbor just about to the dock. What a powerful machine! I think I was doing 8 knots in 6 knots of breeze or something silly like that. I was surprised how close Skipper Bouwe let to other boats on the way in. I took the stern of a 150ft clipper ship by a boat length and then passed her on the leeward side pretty close. People on the clipper were looking at me like I was somebody who knew what he was doing. All I kept thinking to myself is what if something happens and I am the guy responsible for 100 guys fixing a boat all nigh long so they can race to Cape Town tomorrow. I would have become a VOR legend forever. Here are the results for the day: Results Pro-Am 4 1. MAPFRE 13:27:32 -1pt 2. Team Alvimedica 13:28:38 - 2pts 3. Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing 13:29:24 - 3pts 4.
