Print Edition

TEAM Brunel scored a close win on the transatlantic seventh leg of the Volvo Ocean Race yesterday to move into third place overall.

Team Brunel emerged with a narrow lead entering the final few miles at dawn and, despite a drop in the wind, held off Spain’s MAPFRE for a victory in the 2,800-nautical-mile stage from Newport, Rhode Island to Lisbon. The result consolidated Team Brunel’s overall position in third, six points behind leader Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing, which finished fifth. In between is China’s Dongfeng, which was fourth in the leg and trails the leader by five points.
