Ericsson 4, Skippered by Torben Grael from Brazil, arrive in Cochin, India, to win the second leg of the Volvo Ocean Race 2008-09. Torben Grael from Brasil and his international crew onboard Ericsson 4 made it two wins in a row when they crossed the finish of leg two of the Volvo Ocean Race in Cochin, India at 2252 GMT (0422 local time). The 4,450 nm leg, which started from Cape Town, South Africa on 15 November took Grael and his men 14 days, 11 hours, 32 minutes and 30 seconds (elapsed time 14:11:32:30). Adding the four points the team collected for passing through the leg two scoring gate (the line of longitude 58 degrees east which the fleet had to pass from east to west anywhere south of the latitude 20 degrees south), to the eight points for a leg win, boosts the team’s overall score to 26 points.Telefonica Blue, skippered by Bouwe Bekking from Netherlands, finishes in second place on leg 2 of the Volvo Ocean Race, from Cape Town, South Africa to Cochin India. The boat crossed the finish line 12:37:50 GMT under a beautiful Indian sunset. Meanwhile, both Green Dragon and Puma were still within sight. The Green Dragon was about 200 meters off the windward stern quarter and Puma was about 6 miles away- behind and to leeward to Delta Lloyd. This is great racing.
