Green Dragon’s shore team have been working around the clock in order to prepare the boat ahead of the In Port race this Saturday 4th April. The boat has been craned out of the water and the mast removed. The team removed the keel today for a full check, and the boat will now be switched from ‘offshore mode’ to ‘inshore mode’ as seven boats will line up on the waters off Rio this weekend.
