The Volvo Ocean Race fleet, now back to full strength, contested the In Port Race held in Auckland today. Light winds replaced the no winds of the forecast, allowing the seven boat fleet to complete a shortened two-lap course.

Sail-World's NZ Editor Richard Gladwell was on the water and caught the action
