The seven yachts in the Volvo Ocean Race have completed the 4900 nautical mile run from Rio de Janeiro to Boston and have been hoisted from the water in Boston to prepare them for a May 9 in-port race. Routine service and maintenance are underway.
In first place is Ericsson 4, with Telefonica Blue and PUMA Ocean Racing in second and third. All of the boats are in good shape due to an easier than expected Leg 6 from Rio de Janeiro. Following their stay in Boston, the yachts head out on May 16 across the Atlantic to Galway, Scotland for Leg 7. Read more on the Volvo Ocean Race website.
