Team Vestas Wind survived a dramatic crash last weekend during the second leg of the Volvo Ocean Race. Their vessel smashed into a coral reef at Cargados Carajos Shoals, 430kms north-east of Mauritius. Watch the footage and interviews with crew members above.
The crew have since been transported back to the mainland after spending some time clearing the vessel of equipment and stock that could be harmful to the environment. It has become clear that the team will be unable to take part in the next leg due to the extensive damage to their boat, and the lack of resources in the remote archipelago.
Meanwhile, the Dongfeng team managed to weather the "hardest night of the leg so far" on Friday, as they continue to breathe down the necks of leaders Team Brunel en route to Abu Dhabi. WATCH:
