One of the highlights of Leg 7 for fans was the sight of Volvo 65's at race pace in the seemingly endless Southern Ocean.

As the confidence of the OBR's has improved, and their ability to fly the drones, so too has the coverage.

Yann Riou on board leg winner Team Brunel shot this extended sequence. For best viewing set to 1080HD and play on the biggest screen you've got.
