I usually don’t care for it when the on-board videos are “enhanced” with music; I’d prefer to just see what’s happening on the boat. But in this case I think it worked. I’m not sure if it was Alvimedica’s OBR Amory Ross who did the musical embellishment, or if it was added by the shore team before the video was posted, but either way I think it helps underscore the tense but hopeful mood on the boat.
It’s cool to see Dave and Charlie talking about how they’ve managed to step up on this leg and be competitive with the top three boats of Dongfeng, Brunel, and ADOR. Watching their performance in the tracker you can see it: Alvimedica has been fast on this leg.
They were fast at the start of leg 2 as well, leading the fleet for several days before some strategic missteps pushed them back (and then losing 9 hours while they assisted Vestas, which also took them out of the weather conditions that might have let them work their way back up with the leaders). So it will be interesting to see if they can sustain this.
