VOR: A nightmare start
It’s always good to have some boat disasters, not human disasters, in an offshore race to draw media attention. But fragile swing keels neither give dramatic photo opportunities or safe environment for the sailors.
The seven VO 70s didn’t even get 24 hours on the water before over a quarter off the fleet where heading for shelter with damage. We hope that both moviestar and Pirates of the Caribbean will be back in the race fast – very fast. Because five boats in a round the world race is not exactly what the sailing sport needs right now.
