GALWAY, Ireland (AP) — Frenchman Franck Cammas sealed victory in the Volvo Ocean Race on Tuesday after his Groupama team made it over the finish line in Galway to build an untouchable lead and complete a comeback in the eight-month adventure.
Cammas’ victory gives France only their second win in the 39-year history of the offshore race following Lionel Pean’s triumph on board L’Esprit d’Equipe in 1985-86.
Tens of thousands of people came out to welcome the team — which included one Irish sailor in Damian Foxall — to the final stopover port of a race around the world that began in Alicante in October 2011
