With just over 100 nm and around 12 hours to go for Peter Burling and Team Brunel, the racing in the final miles of Leg 6 is closer than ever. While the front pack of the fleet bump up against light winds off the east coast of New Zealand. Burling and Team Brunel just passed the top of New Zealand.
Burling: "It's good to be finally out of the sea. This is a pretty awesome part of the world to be sailing in to. It's not often that the weather is this nice up here. It's a beautiful day and it is pretty nice to sail a few hours down the coast in the daylight."
