I'm sure some of you guys have heard of the Volvo Ocean Race? It's a yacht race that goes around the world every 3 years or so. I spent a boatload ( no pun intended ) of $$ buying team merchandise from these guys back in 2005/06. I ended up with a fleece jacket,an umbrella,a team flag,a watch,a baseball cap,2 tshirts and 2 models of their boats they campaigned which were known as the white boat and the black Boat. Sadly,during the New York to Southampton leg,Dutchmen Hans Horrevoets was swept overboard off the white boat in 10 metre waves. The crew turned around and found him but it was too late. I've never had these displayed for some reason. They've been in the box pretty much since spring of 2006. The hull and keel have sort of a resin type feel to them and the rest is plastic. Kinda cool I thought when I saw them on the team website. This is the white boat.Here's a little clip of the " best of " the 05/06 race. This is also the year that Disney corporation hired Paul Cayard to drive the boat,Pirates of the Caribbean. At 2:01 in the clip,you can actually see " The Black Pearl " surfing. Almost all the boat is out of the water as it's coming down the backside of a wave. Just watching the clip you can imagine the feeling holding on to 70 feet of Carbon Fibre doing 28 knots. I remember watching this live and the 2 announcers went just nuts.[MEDIA=youtube]64I6GObmf00[/MEDIA]
