Chris Stanmore-Major takes fourth position in Leg 2 of the VELUX 5 OCEANS.
"??I feel fantastic for being here," CSM said. "The process of getting into Wellington has been so complicated and convoluted that getting here really feels special. It??s been a really tough leg with a lot of challenges but now I am here, it??s a glorious day, the sun is shining and already it??s like all the stuff that has happened in the last week didn??t occur."
The VELUX 5 OCEANS is the oldest single-handed round the world yacht race. Run every 4 years since 1982, the race is the longest and toughest event for any individual in any sport. The race is a series of five high-pressure ocean sprints within a marathon circumnavigation. The 30,000 route takes the sailors from La Rochelle to Cape Town, then onto Wellington, Salvador, Charleston and back to La Rochelle for the finish. For further VELUX 5 OCEANS images go to http
