Volvo Ocean Race – the finish…

What a race. I have really, really enjoyed this one. So close, and some amazing technology to bring some of it to us, almost live.

Congratulations Ian Walker and crew….

Not really been following actively but certainly very impressive.
Simply can’t believe the Team Vestas c**k up..
I watched the team SCA videos the other day – 8 short videos that show their preparation.
Would be interested to see any links to sail change footage and or a good / detailed tour of a boat if anyone comes across anything.
Interesting to see them gybe those big code zeros ..

I will be round the island this weekend, and there will be a few VOR 70’s coming round in silly times.

There are some videos of construction of them, one of which has a good tour of them up close when they are being rigged.
I think some of the in-port races have some gybing action going on.

I was in Gothenburg yesterday, if only they came a day earlier!

I’ve totally lost track of this one, I feel ashamed.

Well done Ian, another award and another thought for John Merricks whilst you are there.
