Adrenaline charged moments as Turn the Tide on Plastic passes inches from spectator boats just behind Hun Hung Kai / Scallywag less than two minutes after start. Turn the Tide on Plastic, one of seven teams in this edition of the Volvo Ocean Race, set sail from Alicante today for the start of the epic 45,000 nautical mile round-the-world race. After months of preparation, British skipper Dee Caffari lead her young crew out of Alicante, Spain on the beginning of what will undoubtedly be one of the biggest adventures of their lives. The start, consisting of a short in-shore circuit before heading offshore to Lisbon, was certainly no disappointment. Filled with action, drama and some of the most intense battles this race has seen at its start, this edition is showing all the signs that it could be the most exciting yet. Of course this is easily said when you’re flying out of Alicante bay in 16 knots of wind battling for third place against some of the best sailors in the world. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SailingNews TV is the N°1 yachting and sailing channel.
