WE'LL BE BACK SAYS VESTAS WIND CREW
At this moment in time we sadly say goodbye to Team Vestas Wind. The sailors of the six competing yachts has been in contact with them, via radio and email, sympathizing and offering moral support with hopes that Vestas Wind is not too badly damaged so that that could get back into the race. While Vestas crew are safely on land, efforts to salvage the Vestas Wind wreck still grounded on the Cargados Carajos Shoals at St. Brandon Íle du Sud is underway.
However, Team Vestas Wind is speculating about getting back into the race since there is talk by their sponsors to try to get them back into the race with a brand new yacht since the original Vestas Team Yacht is too badly damaged to do repairs. The million dollar question is, can they get a new yacht built in time? Meanwhile Chris Nicholson and his crew have been debriefed by the race officials in Abu Dhabi and will shortly return home to their respective countries if another Volvo 65 cannot be built in time.
