On Sunday 11 December the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town was alive with spectators, sailors and yachts as the six teams competing in the 2011-12 Volvo Ocean Race set off on Leg 2, headed for Abu Dhabi.
The Volvo Ocean Race Village kept the crowds entertained with everything from the Volvo Concept Universe and Volvo C30 Electric to a 3D Cinema on display.
And while the public enjoyed all the entertainment, the crews of the six competing yachts were frantically conducting repairs and making last minute adjustments before their departure on the 11th.
Spectators had the opportunity to see the gorgeous Volvo Open 70 yachts in action during both the Pro-Am and In-Port races last week. The course for both races required a lot of tricky manoeuvring and the crews got a chance to show off their skill and their yacht’s agility.
