28-Dec-2011
Alicante, Spain – The latest stage of the Volvo Ocean Race's anti-piracy plans kicked into action on Wednesday, as five
racing yachts were carefully lifted onto a commercial ship over the past 24 hours and readied for a transfer across the
Indian Ocean to a set-down point off the Sharjah coastline in the northern Emirates.
It is the first time ever that Volvo Open 70 racing yachts have been lifted onto a commercial ship in open waters with their
masts affixed to the boats.
Overall:
1 Team Telefónica
