Telefonica Blue Win Stockholm In-Port Race

Remarkable Comeback Sees Telefonica Blue Win Stockholm In-Port Race

After an extremely disappointing leg nine, which saw second overall in the Volvo Ocean Race 2008-09 slip away when Telefónica Blue ran aground and had to return to Marstrand for emergency repairs, Bouwe Bekking and his men made a remarkable comeback on Sunday June 21, snatching the in-port race in Stockholm from nearest rival PUMA. Telefónica Black was third.

Ericsson 3 were a consistent second and Ericsson 4 eventually beat Telefónica Black by a short head (one second) to take fourth, while Green Dragon was sixth, and, after a very promising start, Delta Lloyd completed the line up in seventh place.
