Team New Zealand pull out of Extreme series | Stuff.co.nz: "Team New Zealand have pulled out of the final and decisive regatta in the Extreme Sailing Series in Sydney to concentrate all their resources on their America's Cup challenge. Emirates Team New Zealand boss Grant Dalton said the decision was made once Bermuda was confirmed to host the next America's Cup final in 2017. That long-awaited decision had given the team the impetus to press on with funding and design plans with some certainty. The team are also exploring hosting the main buildup challengers' series in Auckland in early 2017 – the equivalent of the old Louis Vuitton Cup...."

Team Brunel in lead for Saturday finish of Leg 2, Volvo Ocean Race, with less than 400 miles to go.
see Dashboard/Tracker. Also: JohnTheCrowd.com: VOR (updates).
Volvo Ocean Race: Dec 9, 2014 --There's no doubt, it's a three horse race to Abu Dhabi.

But they know it may not last. “We’re going to have less wind and we’re going to hit it first,” adds Gerd-Jan. He opens his hands. “Basically, this is 15 miles. When we’ll arrive in the channel, the others will get closer because they’ll keep the wind longer and we’ll go slower.”..."
The homestretch to the end of Leg 2 is getting closer. And the word "home" takes a special meaning for the Emirati sailor Adil on Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing. Dec 10, 2014
