Getting Better All The Time
Mike Joubert is delighted with the super effort onboard Team Russia to making them fourth across the scoring gate on Leg 2. He describes being on the bowsprit neck deep in water and sitting down below, up to his waist in freezing ocean. “Nice and cold, nothing new there,” he laughs. “We are looking forward to heading north now so we can get the swim shorts on.”

Crash and Burn
After experiencing a fairly incident packed first few days on the second leg of the Volvo Ocean Race, Team Russia’s skipper Andreas Hanakamp is fairly philosophical; “We’ve had a tough few days, but no more or less than expected, that is what the Volvo Ocean Race is all about. If you push the boat to its limits, things happen like broaches. It’s a calculated risk, sometimes things go wrong and you have to recover – get on with the job and start pushing again.”
