Farr-Juan K 1-0

The Volvo Ocean Race kicked off in a very light breeze Saturday and the Farr boats came out on top. The two Ericsson Racing Teams tactician John Kostecki definitely earned his salary this weekend with a go-left call that gave Neal McDonald and his crew the victory. Next Saturday is the start of the real offshore stuff and we will hopefully have the chance to see if the ABN AMRO twins are better in the heavy winds. The two skippers on the ABN AMRO-team, Mike Sanderson and Seb Josse, didn't get to depressed over ending at the wrong end of the result list, they knew the boats would be sticky in light air.
