No good Farr PR

While the ABN AMRO boats are surfing along to new podium places and world records, there is a whole different case for the Farr boats in the Volvo Ocean Race. All their boats have been out of the race so far. Pirates of the Caribbean and movistar broke down on the first leg and Ericsson and Brasil 1 on the second.

The teams don't get bad press from this. It all comes back to VOR that created the class and gave the team’s very short time to do proper R&D. Farr don't come out to good neither. As for the teams - we just hope they all make it to the next port.
