Telefonica Blue dominates twin in-port races in Boston

Telefnica Blue ruled the day on Saturday afternoon earning two victories from two starts on an in-port race day in the Volvo Ocean Race stopover at Fan Pier, in Boston.

With Iker Martinez on the helm and Bouwe Bekking calling tactics, Telefnica Blue dominated the afternoon, leading from pole to pole in both races.

Racing was postponed for 40 minutes in very light conditions before a weak sea breeze developed for the first race. Green Dragon and Ericsson 4 raced off the start line at the pin end and looked good initially, but by the top mark, Telefnica Blue and Delta Lloyd had used the right side of the course to their advantage to lead the fleet.
