BREAKING NEWS
From a Dutch sailing magazine I learned that Team AkzoNobel has removed their skipper Simeon Tienpont from their VOR-team, just one day ahead of the start of the VolvoOceanRace (VOR) 2017-2018 competition that starts with the Alicante In-Port race, today in Alicante at 12:00 UTC

| Simeon Tienpont in better days. |
The reason given is a contractual dispute, but no further details have been announced. I read this statement of AkzoNobel Race Team.
Whaaw this is something, AkzoNoble's first participation on the VOR and starting without a Captain. Who will be the captian for this team in this heavy Round the World Sailing Race?
