With points already on the leaderboard, and Spain’s Telefónica Blue (Bouwe Bekking/NED) in pole position with four points, the next opportunity to accumulate points will be as the fleet rounds Fernando de Noronha, an island off the coast of Brazil during leg one, which starts this Saturday at 1400 local time in Alicante (Spain) and finishes after 6,500 nautical miles of racing in Cape Town, South Africa.

Scoring

The Volvo Ocean Race is a high scoring event. That is, the team with highest score is the winner. There are three different areas where the eight teams can score points: in-port racing, scoring gates and offshore legs.

In-port racing: is held in seven ports, the first of which was held in Alicante last weekend. The next will be held in Singapore in January. Each in-port race day offers half points to winner of the day’s racing i.e. 4 points, 3.5 points and so on.

Scoring gates: There are seven scoring gates dotted around the course which also attract half points. Leg one has a scoring gate at Fernando de Noronha and this will be the next chance the teams have to add to their tally.

Leg points:leg points are the most lucrative. Maximum points are awarded for offshore legs. The leg winner gets eight points through to one point for eighth place. There are 10 offshore legs, seven in-port race days and seven scoring gates.

Crew Blogs
Will be distributed to the media throughout the day and night on an ad hoc basis. Although the teams have to submit a short daily report to the race office in the UK, the teams are encouraged to give as much insight as possible into life onboard and this will be fully communicated. The Media Crew Member (MCM) will ensure that crew blogs are compiled and transmitted to the race office.
