84 years later, carbon black high-performance yachts shine on Volvo Ocean Race 2011-2012... Still sailing at the limit. Of the six teams, only three reached the first goal, Cape Town.
Sanya team: received serious structural damage to the front of the hull.
Abu Dhabi Team: double breakage of the mast after a firm landing in the trough of the waves under extreme conditions.
The Puma team in Mar Mostro: triple breakage of the mast in conditions of moderate full backstay.
The limits are shifting, the challenge remains the same: to become the first in most of the best regattas.
