The Team Vestas yacht, which is currently being fitted out in Southampton, southern England, will stop over at some of the world’s key wind markets, including China, the US, Brazil and South Africa.
It will be the first Danish team to enter the contest, while its crew — captained by experienced Australian skipper Chris Nicholson — will be one of the youngest to compete in this year’s event, which was formerly known as the Whitbread Round the World Race.
