Race Experts

Here it is; the provisional overall ranking for this edition of the @volvooceanrace Huge congratulations to @DongfengRacing for the incredible call to get east 24hours ago & claim the overall victory!! #watchlog

From us here in Race Control what an epic lap of the planet it has been. We hope you enjoyed all our updates. Thanks for all the engagement you provided. @RaceExperts signing off. #watchlog

From all of us here, huge congrats to all the team at @DongfengRacing for making this final leg such an incredible story. #VORchampions #watchlog twitter.com/volvooceanrace…

We know who we think will win, but for the overall win place your bets:

DFRT are currently laying the finish which is a COG of 200degrees for them. This will give them a TWA of 115degrees. Western boats still have one more gybe. #watchlog

We still don't know and anything can happen!! If @DongfengRacing manage to sail 1.5 kt faster than @desafioMAPFRE over the next hour they will be ahead! Check our last video out #watchlog

13:00 UTC Position Report. There is an extremely tight battle going on for the now Southern Fleet while @DongfengRacing up north is still slowly gaining on the rest. #Watchlog

Still a few gybes to go for the Western fleet. In the meantime, @DongfengRacing is suffering against the current and lighter winds than previous.

@PoliteIceCream @desafioMAPFRE @volvooceanrace Yes NAM22 about 6.5nm before the finish

Well played for @desafioMAPFRE as they have a good lead now! @volvooceanrace

The east option is suffering now..to make it work @DongfengRacing must sail at 16-17 kt during the next hour..

The current situation one hour from now, the current is building and pushing North. It will be very close between @DongfengRacing and the fleet in the west. #Watchlog

Now DTF's are reading correct again. Everybody is going to the same mark.

Breaking news!! Computers are starting to favor @DongfengRacing option!! Can this happen?? #watchlog

current DTF: AKZO 51nm, DFRT 76nm but they have more breeze and will speed up shortly.

@mortenbrando That is what we are saying, against them. (North)

Current DTF: Western group 81nm, Eastern Group 99nm

@NikolasLuebbert No, we add it to get our course displayed nicely for you!

@RaceExperts Have you added a new turning mark? (Mark2)

The current difference in Distance to Finish. The Distances published on the tracker are not correct as they fleet are actually sailing 2 different courses. #Watchlog

@NikolasLuebbert @brunelsailing @volvooceanrace @Vestas11thHour @desafioMAPFRE @volvooceanraceE @DongfengRacing @teamAkzoNobel @TurnTidePlastic @scallywaghk Yes all times in UTC

@RaceExperts @brunelsailing @volvooceanrace @Vestas11thHour @desafioMAPFRE @volvooceanraceE @DongfengRacing @teamAkzoNobel @TurnTidePlastic @scallywaghk Are the arrival times in UTC?

This routing shows how close it can be at the last rounding mark NAM22!

@saulzar @mortenbrando If they cannot stay out of an exclusion they would be forced to either anchor or exit the exclusion zone at the same spot .
