VIDEO: Sam Davies arrival

Images of Roxy's night time finish and her passage back into Les Sables d'Olonne the following morning

The arrival of Sam Davies and her Open 60 Roxy, third home in the Vendee Globe, saw as great a turn out as race winner Michel Desjoyeaux received two weeks previously. In this video we see this massive spectator turn-out, the usual double flares trick as she comes in down the long canal leading into Les Sables d'Olonne, plus Sam shares her initial thoughts and feelings about coming home.

NB: This video are formatted to play in Windows Media Player and are LARGE in size - therefore only suitable for those with a suitably fast broadband connection. They should play out as they download. Mac users can now view .wmv files by downloading a suitable add on to Quicktime - for example we use Flip4Mac which works a treat. The only noticable difference is that while the clip will play out while downloading on a PC in Internet Explorer, on a Mac it must download first.
