The technical room aboard the Alubat Ovni is located starboard aft and it not only gives you access to systems such as engine, electrical and steering systems, but it can also be an additional crew cabin and/or workshop. Access to the cabin is either through a door located behind the aft washroom or from an overhead hatch located in the cockpit. This makes moving dirty or bulky items in and out of the boat that much more convenient.
Whether you were looking at the front or the back of the fleet, the Indian Ocean showed its teeth this week. A series of major low pressure systems were piling on the pressure for all, both mentally and physically. From damaged gear to broken boats, this was a week where the conditions were intimidating as the strong winds and wild sea state took their toll. But this is still a race and key tactical decisions needed to be made. And despite the intimidating conditions, the front runners made some punchy , high risk calls. This was a week of broken boats, big gambles and extraordinary tactics.
