"We have spent the last day in one of the most dangerous sailing places of the leg. We were a bit nervous and the fear of having an accident was strong.We also managed to race well, were lucky with the wind and we got what we wanted as we approached the Vietnam coast. As you can imagine, we are ready to arrive in China now.

"We are now sailing upwind. Well we’ve been upwind since we left Singapore. Upwind all the time, without stopping. At least now we are going in a strait line.
"It’s very tight (the fleet). If anyone makes a small mistake, the ranking can change accordingly.

"We enjoyed it until now because everything went well, because the fight was great, but it has been exhausting for everyone. Especially these past three or four past days which didn’t help us to enjoy it very much.
"Of course, I’m proud of our crew. They did excellent work. We’re happy because the result is great. Everyone has done their jobs well while helping each other."
