Spindrift Racing wins Leg2 MOD70 European Tour
The Sailing time for Spindrift Racing for Leg2 is 2 days, 15 hours, 37 minutes and 36 seconds. 
The finish was a little similar to the Leg1 one in Dublin, as Spindrift Racing had a comfortable lead, till their speed dropped dramatically till 4-5 kts shortly before the Finish-line while the chasing boats Foncia and Musandam-Oman Sail were closing in with 30kts speed only to slow down as well. 
The first 4 MOD70's finished with a separation of only 4Nm, with Race for Water a little further 2Nm down.

The Leg2 route for the MOD70 Trimarans was shortened by deleting the sail to Lagos gate on the South coast of Portugal. But the Virtual LiveSkipper sailing is still on-going as these hardened skippers have no problems with the original course. So register and join in if you like sailing :)
