An impressive match race has been taking place for the lead of the Rolex Sydney Hobart with the maxis Investec Loyal and Wild Oats XI swapping the lead. We’re expecting a photo finish into Hobart. Telefonica won leg 2A of the Volvo Ocean Race into the 'mystery' port, taking victory by less than two minutes from Camper. Puma claimed third while Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing brought up the rear in fifth. Now north of Rio, the Banque Populaire maxi-tri is still more than 1000 miles ahead of Jules Verne Trophy record holder Groupama 3. In the Tasman Sea, the Global Ocean Race leaders have been nailed in high pressure once again.
