Volvo Ocean Race
The Volvo Ocean Race starts in less than a month. Is there a "generic" VO 65 set of polars available to use to second guess the real navigators?

Used for the virtual races of "Virtual Loup de Mer".
You have to manually "transpose" the row and columns and save to a text file to work in Expedition.

Do we know the link to/format of the VOR position reports available for the navigators on board?

Re: Volvo Ocean Race
Actually, when you fill in "vor2017" as race name under the YB Tracking in the Sail Menu, you will receive 6 minutes updates on the fleet.

Re: Volvo Ocean Race
Although take the above with a pinch of salt as not all the links give meaningful info the google earth KML for example seems to give the life history of the trackers including a road trip across spain!!!
