Slow going in Volvo Ocean Race

| Latest Yachting News | Wednesday April 25 2012 17:33

It's slow going for the Volvo Ocean Race fleet on leg six to Miami.

Team New Zealand's Camper leads the fleet by just two nautical miles over Puma Ocean Racing, with Abu Dhabi seven miles back.

Skipper Chris Nicholson says they're searching for a wind shift but they're unsure about the next few days.

"It still wouldn't surprise me if in three or four days time we end up in the same position to the whole fleet. But we also have some potential here, if we can get this shift in pressure, to do quite nicely."

The boats are struggling in around 15 knot winds.
