Vestas's new jury rig


Recommended Posts

So they refer obliquely to 'mechanical issues' forcing them to turn back 30 nm out from the Falklands.

Is my understanding correct that the sail drive was those 'mechanical issues'?

 

I read that somewhere but can't remember where. 

 

Not a good look for the supplier. I can't remember who supplied the sail drives and engines for the Volvo Ocean Race, don't think it was Yanmar, definitely wasn't Beta (although they do a good sail drive).

 

Nah, I can't work out who the supplier is of sail drives and engines for the Volvo Ocean Race.

 

Anyone know?

Guess it gives them a better chance to eat their way back to their ideal weights, catch up on sleep etc. With the delivery time being unkown and the next start being on the 22nd, better to rest the race crew and have them fresh and ready to go for the next leg.
