11th Hour Hunt For Money
Times are tense within Volvo Ocean Race HQ at present. While there are several strong teams lined up and rearing to go, others, including some yet to show their head above the parapet, are still struggling to make it to the start line with just seven months to go before the race kicks off from Alicante.
A recent team to emerge has been Carbon Challenge, who unlike the others has made the commitment to the race by formally entering, but are still beating on the door of board rooms to secure the necessary funding.

4th J-Class Replica to be Built
The J-Class Association will soon make an announcement to the press that a fourth replica is to be built. Details are scant at present, but a contract has been signed between an owner and a shipyard for the build of the yacht. She will join two other replicas in build at the moment - of Endeavour II and of a Ranger variant - as well as a replica of the original Ranger built in 2002. With the three original Js that are still sailing - Shamrock V, Velsheda and Endeavour - the total class will increase in number from four to seven. More news on development within the J Class will follow in May’s issue of Classic Boat. — Steffan Meyric Hughes, Classic Boat, www.classicboat.co.uk/auto/newsdesk/20080225161442cbnews.html
