VOR: Lucky Aussies

We are not sure who has the biggest grins in the VOR camp right now. Grant Wharington's Premier Challenge team who got a last minute mystery sponsor to finance to legs, or the mystery Dutch sponsor? My guess is the sailors because it will take a PR and sponsor plan of so far unseen proportions and a giant effort to actually get return on such a last second investment. Unless fun is all you are looking for then.


The still-unnamed sponsor has injected enough money into the team for Wharington to do the first leg from Vigo, Spain, to Cape Town, South Africa and the second leg that stops over in Melbourne in January. The leg starts November 12th and Wharringtons men will have one day of training before they set off. Read all about it in the Herald Sun.
