It was team AkzoNobel and SHK/Scallywag who were first across the start line on Wednesday morning in Hong Kong, as the Volvo Ocean Race fleet start Leg 6 to Auckland, New Zealand.
Conditions were good, with a light to moderate 7-10 knot easterly, making for an upwind start and short beat out the channel before the fleet reached open water.
