Volvo Ocean Race – Kronprinsessan vid rodret

Princess at the helm - Volvo Ocean Race 2014-15 Anna-Lena Elled/Team SCA
Idag klev H.K.H. Kronprinsessan Victoria ombord på Team SCA för en fartfylld seglats med Volvo Ocean Race i Lissabon.

Kronprinsessan fick styra den svenskflaggade båten Team SCA under ett träningsrace inför den näst sista etappen av kappseglingen runt jorden.
Upplevelsen föll henne uppenbarligen i smaken och vid ett tillfälle ropade hon ” Jag älskar det – vi har vind” till reportrar i närheten .

Team SCA är den första kvinnliga besättningen i tävlingen på 12 år och nu återstår två etapper innan Volvo Ocean Race 2014-15 avslutas i Göteborg 21-28 juni.

Kungafamiljen känner väl till Volvo Ocean Race, världens största havskappsegling, och Prins Carl Philip besökte Team SCA när tävlingen startade i Alicante i oktober 2014. Kronprinsessans bror gick ett steg längre under sitt besök eftersom han då klättrade upp i masten på den kinesiska båten Dongfeng Race Team för att ta en selfie.

Volvo Ocean Race avgörs i nio etapper på vägen runt jorden och den sista delsträckan avslutas med målgång i hjärtat av Göteborg om drygt två veckor. Detta firas med en stor folkfest i Göteborg 21-28 juni.
