O Azzam para a Volvo Ocean Race 2014-15 já foi revelado pelo estaleiro Green Marine, em Southampton, na Inglaterra. Na manhã desta quinta-feira (27), o barco da equipe do Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing foi retirado da área de construção e içado para depois ser levado à água nas próximas semanas. O comandante Ian Walker e os integrantes do time acompanharam o processo. O veleiro chamou a atenção pelas cores, misturando prata e amarelo com linhas em vermelho e dourado. Todo o processo de construção do Abu Dhabi levou quase 2 mi horas.

'É fantástico. A equipe de pintura deu vida à embarcação. Após a colocação das velas a impressão deve ser ainda melhor. Todo projeto foi muito complexo', disse Ian Walker.

O comandante Ian Walker falou mais sobre a nova campanha na Volvo Ocean Race. 'São várias etapas até a largada e a saída do barco do estaleiro é um marco importante. Não posso esperar para levá-lo pra água e colocar as velas'. O novo Azzam é um dos oito barcos de 65 pés projetados e construídos de maneira idêntica para a próxima edição da regata.

Depois do lançamento do barco e o teste de pull-down, a equipe do Abu Dhabi fará a pré-temporada em Cascais, em Portugal. A Volvo Ocean Race 2014-15 começa em 4 de outubro com a In-port Race de Alicante
