'I'm not impressed with Camper' I'm not impressed. It's pretty simple, but they're really, really trying to sort it out. If Telefónica keep on going the way they are, we're not going to beat them, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to work that out. Grant Dalton, Camper boss Everyone is pushing these boats extremely hard so there are bigger differences when someone's got a knot more breeze or someone has a slightly different angle. The boats are so fast, they make bigger gains and bigger losses. Camper's Tony Rae We still believe in where we have positioned the boat for the whole race and its strengths and weaknesses. I think we've got some things in store for Leg 4 which will address some of the upwind sailing weaknesses and still allow us to keep some of the strengths in that leg. Farr Yacht Design president Patrick Shaughnessy on Abu Dhabi's chances To go and win in Auckland is like winning the Rugby World Cup in New Zealand. It is definitely at the front of everyone's mind. Auckland is also pretty much the halfway point of the race, and it will give everyone the first good idea about who will ultimately take victory in the Volvo Ocean Race. Groupama's Thomas Coville It's looking like a really difficult leg again, lots of tight reaching and upwind work, so not exactly ideal for us on what we learnt from the last few weeks, but we will go and give it heaps of course. Team Sanya skipper Mike Sanderson The fact that we have won every leg up to now does not mean it's not going to be close through until the finish. The differences between the boats are small - each boat has different strengths in different wind conditions. Team Telefónica's technical director Horacio Carabelli
