Local Carlos Hernández, a sailor from the Real Club Náutico de Arrecife who participates in the Volvo Ocean Race aboard the Spanish team Mapfre, became this Saturday the first Lanzarote native to win a stage of this regatta.

On the morning of this Saturday (Spanish time), the first classified in this fourth stage of the Volvo Ocean Race arrived in Auckland (New Zealand). It was a fairly tight end to the stage, with three boats fighting to the finish line itself. Finally, Mapfre was able to defend the lead it had held since yesterday, when it was able to overtake Dongfeng and Abu Dhabi, and place itself at the head of the fleet to arrive as leader and winner at the end.
