Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing team will likely be stuck three days back in port hurrying to replace their mast which snapped (picture) in a gale at the start of the Volvo Ocean Race on Saturday. After a swift start to the 39,000-mile race, the world’s toughest and most dangerous yachting adventure, the Abu Dhabi boat sat in the Spanish port of Alicante with its mast trailing astern after motoring back overnight. Separately, Sanya, the race’s first ever entry from China, sustained hull damage and was also heading to shore.
