Volvo Ocean Racer Sanya Hits the Water Again

#SANYA – Today Sanya Lan, the Volvo Ocean entry backed by Discover Ireland touched the water of the Cape Town this evening and is now tied up next to the team base, a momentous day for the team after retiring from Leg One nearly a month ago. The plan is to step the mast in the boat as soon as possible and then gather for a well-deserved team barbeque.
