Team Telefonica clinches third leg

By: Elliott Smith | Latest Yachting News | Sunday February 5 2012 6:40

Team Telefonica's clinched the third leg of the Volvo Ocean Race from Abu Dhabi to Sanya, ensuring they maintain their position at the head of the standings.

They've finished nearly two hours clear of French outfit Groupama and a further hour and a half clear of Team New Zealand run Camper in third.

Camper co-skipper Stu Bannatyne says they're failing to get too downhearted after again failing to assert their dominance.

He says everyone realises it's a long race and most of the points come at the end, so there are plenty of opportunities to get back into it.

Camper remains second in the overall standings, fifteen points behind Telefonica.

The next leg beginning in a fortnight sees the fleet headed towards Auckland.
