More on board video from the first stage of Leg 9 from Lorient to the Hague.
See more of the incredible 10 metre tide that flow around the French coast andhow the Volvo Ocean racers did their best to dodge these.
Also we go on board Team Brunel and hear their frustration at leading their group, and then three hours later they trail.
There's plenty of video from on board Team Vestas Wind, including a piece where Peter Vibroe and OBR Brian Carlin compare ten factors between France and England to decide whether they would rather go up the French or English side of the Exclusion.
And hear Abu Dhabi's Ian Walker and navigator Simon Fisher give their views on the Leg, where Team Alvimedica managed to make a huge gain on the fleet, and maybe enough to win the Leg.
