After four days at sea from Lorient, France, to Cascais, Portugal, the first leg of The Ocean Race Europe has concluded with a nail-biting finish.
The Austrian Ocean Race Project finished first in the VO65 fleet with just 15 seconds separating the top three finishers. In fact, all seven boats in the VO65 fleet finished within six minutes of each other, even after days on the open ocean and a critical tactical decision about rounding an exclusion zone.
