Lone Wolf on the Peripherique - Volvo Ocean Race 2011-12
Loading...
Uploaded by volvooceanracevideos on Dec 17, 2011
Lone wolf, Groupama, goes it alone in a bid to get the jump on the pack. Heading south they are hoping to find a way around the low pressure trough that has the other boats in a stanglehold. But what will the outcome be?

Having said that we don't know when the others will be able punch through. If they do soon then Groupama are going to look like mugs but if the others get stuck for 3-4 days then its going to look like an inspired decision to go south.
As for Sanya I wish them well heading into that strong breeze and hope their boat holds up seeing as it looks rather fragile compared to the NewGen boats!

Ballsy indeed. Groupama seems to take considerable more risks than the others by default. In the long run, trying to be better by taking more risks hardly ever works out.
Better risk management does though.. maybe that's what they are trying to do, But it seems more like gambling to me.
Since this race is a pretty long run, I'd say they take the statistics a bit more seriously :)

Interesting tactic, I can't wait to see if it works. It's good for the spirits if nothing else.

ballsy move from Groupama!

I say it might well be another Groupama navigational error!

@andeyking Keep an eye on the tracker. Both Groupama and Team Sanya are taking a gamble. The gains or losses could be big. Particularly since Team Sanya are heading for a tropical storm!!!
