CRI听力:Fleet Sets out for Leg 8 of Volvo Ocean Race

2015-06-09来源:CRI

The seven-strong fleet set off for leg 8 of the Volvo Ocean Race from Lisbon to Lorient, France on Sunday.

MAPFRE, runners-up in leg 7 and winners of the Lisbon in-port race, led the fleet into the open ocean.

China's Dongfeng Race Team are currently in fourth place.

Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing leads Team Brunel and Dongfeng Race Team by 6 points with two legs to go.

The Skipper of Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing Ian Walker says he was keeping a eye on the weather.

"When we get north we'll have no shortage of wind. It's going to be windy off the northwest corner of Spain; not for too long, but windy".

The boats almost came to a stand-still on the Lisbon waters but more wind is expected as the fleet heads north.
