30 PHOTOS
AUCKLAND, New Zealand, March 14
It was a fight all the way of the race, but team SCA which is all women’s crew dominate the Auckland In-Port Race. It was the most exciting in-port race in the 2014-15 edition. The Team Brunel led by skipper Bouwe Bekking (NED) was beaten to the line by Sam Davies’ (GBR) all-women crew.
British skipper Sam Davies sailed a faultless race and successfully won it. Davies chose a sweet line of the start and when she crossed over the fleet Team SCA was in front and lead the race the whole way. The weather was excellent in Auckland and on the Waitemata Harbour wind breeze of 10-12 knots.
The Auckland In-Port Race attracted hundreds boats with fans watching the race close up plus thousands of spectators on the shore.
All Black legend, Jonah Lomu joined aboard Abu Dhabi - Volvo Ocean Race - In Port Race, Auckland. See few photos of him below.
The women’s boat’s navigator Libby Greenhalgh (GBR) said: “We won it because we kept it simple, kept our manoeuvres to a minimum and that’s what paid out for us.”
Team SCA became the only crew in the Volvo Ocean Race to claim two in-port victories so far.
Davies noted:
“We’re really happy, the City of Sails made a fantastic arena for us to race ...”
“We had a really good teamwork, a great start, good tactics, everything worked perfectly onboard Team SCA today”.
After their second place in Aucklands’ race, Team Brunel equalized in the total ranking with Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing (skipper Ian Walker/GBR).
MAPFRE, who had led the chase to catch Team SCA after another runaway start, enjoyed the consolation of a third place podium finish on the return of skipper Iker Martínez (ESP) after he missed the last two legs to concentrate on Olympic training for Rio 2016.
The Chinese Dongfeng Race Team led by skipper Charles Caudrelier (FRA) finished fourth.
Team Alvimedica (skipper Charlie Enright/USA) finished on the fifth place.
Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing finished only on sixth position.
So after winning the race in Auckland team SCA jumped on the third position in the total ranking.
