The setting of scoring gate position in each game is always so subtle. The temptation of extra points and the fast progress of awesome wind conditions always make it difficult for the fleet to choose, which is exactly the effect that the organizing committee expects to achieve.
From the tracking chart of the previous day's race, it can be seen that the "Perseverance", "UNICEF", "Est Point Sailing Club", and the returning "Vietnam Xialongwan" are all salivating at the scoring goal. The sailing route seems to be heading towards the scoring goal, with both risks and opportunities. While rushing towards the goal, there is a possibility of missing the best opportunity to catch up with the trade wind. The other team led by the "Brave Forward" gave up the competition for the scoring goal and chose to sail straight to the northeast trade wind zone in order to ensure the overall sailing progress. The operation of the two teams also caused a dramatic change in the ranking of the "Endless Discovery Journey to Xialongwan" in Schedule 7.
After the dust settled, only two fleets eventually crossed the scoring line: the United Nations Children's Fund and the Perseverance. The two racing fleets passed the scoring line one after another, earning three and two extra points as rewards. The other two fleets, the Vietnam Xialongwan and the Est Cape Sailing Club, who had previously chosen to compete together, chose to give up the goal at the last moment before the goal, At the same time, it also missed the best opportunity to enter the trade wind zone. The next additional point of contention in this game is the race zone, which is over a thousand nautical miles away from the start of the race.
At present, the top three leading fleets are "Brave Forward", "Qingdao", and "Zhuhai", with a distance of less than ten nautical miles between the heads and tails of the three leading fleets. According to predictions, the competition fleet will continue to receive the favor of the Northeast Trade Wind Belt in the next week, which will help the crew sail faster towards their destination - Xialong Bay, Vietnam.
每场比赛得分门位置的设定总是那么的微妙，额外积分的诱惑与给力风况的快速前行总是让船队难以取舍，而这正是赛组委期望达到的效果。
从前一天的赛况追踪图上看，“坚韧不拔号”“联合国儿童基金会号”“埃斯特角帆船俱乐部号”以及回归母港的“越南下龙湾号”都是对着得分门垂涎欲滴，航行线路上看是奔着得分门去的，风险和机会并存，冲门的同时有可能就要错过赶上信风带的最佳时机。由“勇往直前号”领跑的另一梯队则是放弃了得分门的争夺，为了保证整体的航行进度，选择了直奔东北信风带航行，两组船队的这波操作也让赛程7“下龙湾无尽发现之旅”的比赛排名发生了戏剧性的转变。
尘埃落定后，只有两支船队最终冲过了得分门：“联合国儿童基金会号”和“坚韧不拔号”，两只赛船先后通过了得分门，获得了三分和两分的额外积分奖励，之前选择一同冲门的另外两支船队“越南下龙湾号”和“埃斯特角帆船俱乐部号”则是在冲门前的最后一刻选择了放弃冲门，同时也错过了进入信风带的最佳时机。本场比赛下一个额外积分争夺点是竞速区间，距离竞速开始还有一千余海里。
目前，处于领跑的前三名船队分别是“勇往直前号”“青岛号”和“珠海号”，三支领跑船队的首尾间距不到十海里。根据预测显示，未来一周时间里，比赛船队将会持续得到东北信风带的眷顾，将助推船员们更加快速驶向目的地-越南下龙湾。（来源：帆船之都青岛）
