Crew training onboard Team SCA, which is using PUMA's VO70 to prepare for the 2014-15 Volvo Ocean Race. Vying for a crew position are Annie Lush (GBR), Carolijn Brouwer (NED), Jeanne Gregoire (FRA), Klaartje Zuiderbaan (NED), Liz Wardley (AUS), Sam Davies (GBR) and Stacey Jackson (AUS).  Admit it... short tacking rugged shorelines is what it is all about. Bouy racing in open water is for whimps. Here is Tim Cox’s DK43 Minerva in Oz having that "how deep is it" conversation.
