Ericsson 4 breaks record in Volvo Ocean Race - International Herald Tribune

Ericsson 4 breaks record in Volvo Ocean Race - International Herald Tribune: "Skipper Torben Grael and his crew covered some 590 nautical miles as a much anticipated cold front hit the fleet Tuesday, bringing with it gale force winds and accelerating the high-tech racing boats toward Cape Town. The record is still subject to ratification, but was a vast improvement on ABN AMRO 2's mark of 562.96 miles in the 2006-07�race."
