Vestas to the rescue...

In a fairly amazing salvage operation, Coxy, Nico and the team somehow managed to free the Volvo 65 Team Vestas Wind from the grips of the reef, and she’s already loaded on a MAERSK container ship and bound for Malaysia in incredibly good shape, considering. The boat will be offloaded and transshipped directly to Italy, where all the ducks are all in a row to put humpty dumpty back together again. We have no word on whether Vestas management have decided to pull the trigger, but we know Volvo wants to see it happen, and so does the world. If you don't remember or heard, this boat hit a reef while sailing from South Africa to Abu Dhabi in the Volvo round the world race... This boat was considered to be a goner...
