Team SCA's Volvo 65 is the first boat in the new standardised class to be completed and the women's crew are already training intensively on it. The second boat for Team China is due to undergo its first water tests just these days.

The impressive aerial shots of the training on the Solent as well as the first interior views give an idea that it will be a similarly tough ride as in previous editions.
