Volvo Ocean Race 2008 - Team Russia (dramatic sailing shots)

Puma and Green Dragon boats have suffered significant damage by an unforgiving Southern Ocean in the early stages of Leg Two of the Volvo Ocean Race. Meanwhile, the threat of piracy still looms large for the eight boat fleet on the 4,450-mile stretch from Cape Town, South Africa, to Kochi, India. Available clips include shots of the teams sailing on Leg Two of the race, as well as soundbites with Kimo Worthington, GM of Puma Ocean Racing.
