Alvimedica er der - og hjælper!!! Team Alvimedica has now arrived at the site, is in radio contact with Team Vestas Wind and standing by to assist Team Vestas Wind, waiting for daylight. Race Control is in contact with Team Vestas Wind every hour. The situation is currently stable on board and the crew plans to remain on board until daylight. There is also contact established with a coastguard station on Isle de Sud, approximately 1.5 km from the boat, which has a RIB available. The plan is for this vessel to assist in abandoning the boat as soon as possible after daylight. Both rudders have been reported broken by the Team Vestas Wind crew. The team has also reported water ingress in the stern compartment. The Volvo Ocean 65 has watertight bulkheads in the bow and the stern. The remaining part of the boat is intact including the rig. We will update as soon as we have further information.
