Charles Caudrelier, the skipper of Dongfeng Race Team, the Chinese entry in the 2017-18 Volvo Ocean Race, has been down in Lisbon at the official Volvo Ocean Race Boatyard facility to check up on the work being done on his racing machine. Dongfeng is the first of the Volvo Ocean 65s to get her full re-fit and she looks gleaming in her new red and white livery. The work on the boat, which is carried out by staff from the Volvo Ocean Race, is due to be completed by early January when the yacht sponsored by Dongfeng Motor Corporation will emerge in almost mint condition ready for her new campaign.
