    VolvoOceanRace Stockholmstopover

     

    I entered Fort Knox, i got my pass and entered into a controlled chaos at Skeppsbron where the construction of what to become the VolvoOceanRace Stockholm Stopover on Sunday.

    All seven V70 boats in the competition has their own VIP building, because these  are no tents but two floor of show off. Overall its is very virtual, with high-technology equipment and huge screens that brings live broadcasting from the race.

     

     

    These VIP lounges is kind of the champagne version of the depot. 9 days is what the teams get to put them together, from containers to be up running. I met Martin who has been to all stopovers building for Ericsson.

    - We are an international crew where every one have their speciality and then we work together at the spot, he says.
    - There are two set of the same construction, otherwise the transport wouldn't manage, says Martin. There are also two teams. One crew that put it together and one to torn it apart and there are not a 9-5 job, here there is action from sun rise to sun set, says Martin.
