Displaying balls the size of grapefruits by splitting with their competitors (Mapfre and Brunel) for the overall win, Team DongFeng has indeed made the split pay by coming back from a multiple mile deficit to win this leg – right at the end – and win the 2018 Volvo Ocean Race! They finished at 15:22:32 UTC with about a 3 mile lead on the next boat.
An amazing call, an amazing execution, and an amazing win.
