So the Volvo Open 70s are shaping up to be spectacular boats. What are the chances that you or I will ever get behind the helm of one? How about zero, does zero sound about right? But wait. Volvo is prepared to throw you a bone. Check out this virtual ride, which puts you in the drivers seat and splatters you and the camera with virtual Southern Ocean spray. Then click on “The Race” for a kickass promo video. Also found this video of ABN Amro at speed on The Daily Sail (subscribe, you effing cheapskates!). The only problem I can see for Volvo, is keeping this level of interest and excitement up for another, err, 201 days…
“Jeez, why did we bother even building this boat? That virtual stuff is just as real, and a hell of a lot cheaper…”
