VOR: Green Dragon Images - A Look Back at the end of Leg 6

Green Dragon seem to be having the most fun of any boat in the fleet, despite a lighter keel bulb, which reduces the righting moment and means that they are 5% to 10% slower in reaching conditions than most of the other boats.

Ian Walker (skipper) commented: "I just had a chat with the lads at the end [of the leg] and I said, 'a lot of crews wouldn't still be together after the tough last leg, running out of food and the problems we've had to overcome, and then this leg, finishing last and slipping further and further behind on the long reaching sequence...' But I think the fact that we're all here, we're all smiling, that speaks volumes."

They are clearly a great team!
