VOR: Images of Ericsson 3 Arriving in Hualien, Taiwan

Images of Ericsson 3 arriving in Hualien, Taiwan, where an 8 metre section of the bow will be pulled out and replaced before they continue on Leg 4 to Qingdao. Images all copyright Dave Kneale/Volvo Ocean Race.











Note from SailRaceWin: Although Volvo Open 70s, weighing in at 14,000kg, are about half the maximum weight limit allowed on roads in Taiwan, the east coast road is rather tortuous in places, extremely prone to slips (we have personal experience of one across the entire width of the road in just an afternoon's moderate rainfall) and really not suitable for attempting to transport a Volvo Open 70 by road.
