Change to Volvo Ocean Race Rules.

This volvo ocean race has specified that each boat shall carry a "Media Crew Member". In future a VOR 70 shall carry:

1 - Qualified Boat Builder
1 - Naval Archetect
2 - Tons of Epoxy Resin
400m² Carbon fibre matt
2 - Polish Builders
1 - Man to Make the Tea (Ian Walker will do)

Each boats builders crack measurements will be reported to Race HQ at frequent intervals.

In addition to the above crew requiemnets each VOR 70 shall tow a floating dry dock behind it.

In terms of design changes to the boats then 2 keel shall be fitted in future (in case one falls off)

This is where a bad gag about Teleponica Black's huge crack, should appear, but I can find a picture of it, but it its HUGE.

Those of you who havn't been following the money, I mean the Volvo, won't know what I'm talking about. Its the volvo ocean race that following the money into Northern China in Winter Up wind in a storm. Or was tlll most of them broke. Except a (probalby quite relived) Team Russia that didn't enter cos they were broke.
