Seen vids of a few navigators consulting their paper charts after the Team Vestas Wind accident. I didn't see any vids of actual CN after the accident. There were some interesting developements in later legs of the race, in regards to course management. One of the most intriguing was the leg 4 split, as two boats went north before making their southing, as PUMA did in the previous edition of the race. - and I might add quite successfully.
