Round-the-World Yacht
21 October 2007 | Cascais, Portugal
When the Ericsson Round-the-World Racing Yacht headed out to sea, we happened to be in the dinghy, so we gave chase for a little photo op while she hoisted her sails. Later we saw her doing PR beside a huge tent and discovered that Ericsson, who sponsors the boat, sends their employees, a few at a time, to take a "working" ride, taking the helm and operating the grinders. At the end of the day they were kind enough to give us a tour. The composite shows her under sail, at dockside with Roy and Carol, Roy talking to Jeremy (boat builder,) and Ken, skipper of the schooner near us.
