Volvo Ocean Race 11-12 Leg 3, 04. Februar 2012, 00:57
TELEFÓNICA LEADS IN FINAL SHOWDOWN
Die letzten zweihundert Meilen der Leg 3
At 1000 UTC today, Telefónica (Iker Martínez/ESP) led Groupama 4 (Franck Cammas/FRA) by 27 nautical miles (nm) in the final showdown of Leg 3 to Sanya. Both boats tacked shortly before 0900 UTC and are still upwind but on the layline for the finish, 274 nm ahead. Soon, as the wind shifts to the right, they will have fast reaching conditions ideally suited to both boats.

(Credit: Diego Fructuoso/Team Telefonica/Volvo Ocean Race) - 27 Nautische Meilen segelt Telefonica im Moment vor ihrem Verfolger der Groupama. Der Showdown für die letzten 200 Meilen läuft. Die beiden Boote haben den exakten Zeitpunkt gewählt. Denn schon bald wird sich der Wind nach rechts drehen und für die Konkurrenz werden die beiden Führenden ein uneinholbares Unterfangen bleiben. Grosses Glück hatte gestern Abend Abu Dhabi mit Ian Walker. "Wir haben um nur einen Meter eine riesige Fischerbojle mitten im Meer verfehlt. Nicht zu denken, wenn wir sie getroffen hätten. Es herrschte völllige Dunkelheit und man sah keinen Meter. Nicht zu beneiden ist das Team Sanya, dass im Moment gegen 30 Knoten Wind kämpft und von einer stürmischen See gebeutelt wird, die ihnen meterhohe Wellen entgegenschleudert. »

TORTUOUS TACKING TOWARDS FINISH
Abscheuliche Bedingungen
Telefónica (Iker Martínez/ESP) continues to control the fleet as the leading four tack every hour around two miles off the coast of Vietnam in hideous conditions. They are not free of danger. Gales are still forecast for the track ahead and the fight between Telefónica and Groupama 4 (Franck Cammas/FRA) who has closed to 7.3 nm is set continue until the finish in Sanya. Abscheuliche Bedingungen entlang der Küste von Vietnam bedeuten im Moment grosse Gefahr für die Boote. So haben Telefonica und Groupama beschlossen, den Kampf gegeneinander vorerst auszusetzen. Wellen in unvorstellbarer Höhe, Wind und Regen setzen den beiden Teams schrecklich zu.

PUMA’S RISKY MOVE SPLITS VOLVO FLEET
Puma hat das riskante Spiel verloren
Last night, as Iker Martínez/ESP and Telefónica continued in the lead, Ken Read took PUMA's Mar Mostro across to the easterly side of the racetrack in a move that has split the team from the rest of the fleet. Letzte Nacht als Telefonica mit Iker Martinez weiter die Führung verteidigte, riskierte die PUMA einen Angriff weiter östlich, der dann aber komplett in die Hosen ging. PUMA ist weit zurückgefallen.

WEATHER CLOSES IN AS LEADERS FIGHT FOR SUPREMACY
At 0200 UTC this morning, Groupama 4 (Franck Cammas/FRA) and PUMA’s Mar Mostro had peeled off from the wake of leg leader Telefónica (Iker Martínez/ESP) and tacked onto starboard. The first five boats are racing towards an archipelago situated 130 nm off the east coast of Malaysia, which they must leave to port. Martínez and his men changed direction one hour later and by doing so, adopted a protective position between Groupama 4 and the wind.
