Miami Heat
Finally the two back markers djuice and Amer Sports Too crossed the finish line off Miami. Sailing in the so-called B-group for most of the leg, they lost ground during the final days of this leg from Rio to Miami.
Finally the two back markers djuice and Amer Sports Too crossed the finish line off Miami. Sailing in the so-called B-group for most of the leg, they lost ground during the final days of this leg from Rio to Miami.
Unfortunately for them, they were becalmed right at the moment when sixth placed yacht Amer Sports One finished. A long, frustrating waiting day followed, until djuice got the breeze first and sailed away. Amer Sports Too followed an hour later and finished last, having spent a total of 118 days at sea in the Volvo Ocean Race.
