Team New Zealand boat Camper has secured second place in the Cape Town in-port race as action began again overnight in the Volvo Ocean Race.
In champagne sailing conditions on Table Bay of a steady 15 to 20 knot south westerly Telefonica took first place, but a solid performance from Camper saw them fight back from a slow start to finish 43 seconds behind.
The result leaves the Volvo leadership board unchanged with Camper still second overall three points adrift of first place.
After being off the pace at the start CAMPER sat in third place for the first half of the race before taking advantage of a sail handling mistake aboard Puma to slip into second place.
Skipper Chris Nicholson said despite the second-place result he still wanted more.
