The crews face the last marathon stage of the race in Leg 9 as they sail 3,300 nautical miles on the classic Atlantic Ocean crossing from Newport, USA to Cardiff in Wales.

The fleets make crew changes before they head out from Melbourne, Australia to Hong Kong, China. The journey begins on choppy waters and weather gets crueller as they approach the Solomon Islands. Things get even worse as a member goes overboard.

Leg 7 sees the teams sailing from Auckland, New Zealand, into the Southern Ocean, around Cape Horn and back up to Itajaí, Brazil in the toughest leg, one that everyone wants to win.

After eight months of sailing around the world the race is extremely tight with only three points separating the top three teams. The crews make the second-to-last leg from Wales to Sweden as they head towards the big finish at The Hague.

After the loss of a beloved crew member teams try to push forward in his memory. The fleets navigate difficult weather as they make their way from Itajaí, Brazil to Newport, America.
