Chris Nicholson, skipper of CAMPER with Emirates Team New Zealand, had to cling on for dear life at the helm when his boat was pounded by huge waves and 45 knot winds in the Bay of Biscay on Leg 8 of the Volvo Ocean Race around the world.

The CAMPER crew was less than 200 miles off the finish line in Lorient in Brittany, north-western France.
