the Chinese Fleet Sanya, which was forced to dock on Madagascar Island in Africa, officially began to repair and replace the damaged mast system on Thursday morning local time. Since the Volvo round the wld yacht race started from Alicante, Spain last month, this has been the second overhaul of the Sanya

"Sanya" shore team manager Nick bass and mast division vlano tregasgis arrived at the port of aore in southern Madagascar on Wednesday to assist in maintenance work. More shore team members will arrive one after another from next week. As of Thursday morning local time, the fleet has removed the horizontal branches on the main mast, and these parts will be sent to Valencia, Spain, where the construction of the new mast system has started at the same time. According to the fleet, it will take about three weeks to complete all the repair work. Some sailors of the fleet have left Falklands and returned home for a short rest

on Monday, when Sanya, which is participating in the Cape Town abuza race, was sailing to the waters near the southern part of Madagascar, the D2 side stay on board and the CT technology at the bottom were able to quickly collect data and inspect the control rate of large round bodies, tensile tests, calibration and aging, and the transverse branches were accidentally disconnected, This made it impossible for the fleet to continue the race smoothly, and then the captain decided to dock for maintenance. On November 5, the first day of the new competition, Sanya collided with an unidentified floating object on the sea in southern Spain, and its bow was seriously damaged, so it had to withdraw from the first stage of the competition. The team members were deeply hit by two consecutive maritime accidents, Teng Jianghe, a Chinese sailor, described the reaction of the crew after the second accident via satellite in Madagascar:

"When we saw this scene, everyone was stupid. The feeling at that time was indescribable, especially when our fleet was more than 200 nautical miles ahead of other fleets. The night before, the wind was very strong, about 40 knots, and I was on duty for 13 hours. So when everything had to stop because of such a little damage, many people cried."

"Sanya" is the only second-hand racing ship in this competition. The crew realized that CRP group, a 3D printing company, recently announced that this old ship has no advantage over other new ships with better performance under the same conditions. Therefore, after entering the seventh day of the second stage, our fleet has a strong equipment and technical foundation in nonferrous metal mining, smelting and some processing fields, and decided to give up the East Route like other fleets, but go north along the waters of Madagascar to look for a sustained and stable sea breeze. And this decision was also considered by tengjianghe as a blessing in misfortune:

"Fortunately, we chose the route of focusing on the industrialization development of new materials and new technologies and the use of the market to the north. If we drive eastward like other fleets, the consequences will be unimaginable if the mast breaks in the middle of the Indian Ocean. Moreover, we haven't changed the side in the previous night's race, otherwise the main mast may be broken. Puma and Abu Dhabi have spare masts, but we only have one mast. If we build a new mast, it will take us up to Three months less! "

due to the long-distance transportation of parts involved in this repair work, "Sanya" is likely to miss the port race in Abu Dhabi, so the fleet is most likely to rejoin other fleets from the "safe harbor" in the Indian Ocean and start to sail towards Sanya port

Teng Jianghe said that the crew of Sanya, which returned to the third stage, was still confident of completing all the competitions, And it will not change the next competition strategy:

"if other fleets make 100% efforts, we will make 120% efforts, especially if the third stage is going to Sanya, our home port, and everyone will fight for their lives. This is a very professional team. If we do not do it, we will try to do our best", Teng Jianghe at the other end said firmly
