Next Stop: Newport! What's In Store For The Sailors?
Volvo Ocean Race Leg 6: A Primer

'Challenging and intense'. Those are the two words being used to describe this next phase of the Volvo Ocean Race. With yesterday's tricky In-Port Race in the [sail] bags, the fleet shoves off this afternoon, leaving Itajaí around 1400 hrs local time, facing some 5000 nautical miles to their next stop: Newport, RI. And here's a summary of what's in store.
'Challenging and intense'
Best of luck to all the sailors and especially to Team Alvimedica! Fair winds and favorable seas, mates!

For smooth sailing and zero stress ... call SYS!^™

Reviews from SYS Clients

"Ben and Jo Stanley came highly recommended to me when I was looking for someone to care for and maintain my Outer Reef 73. I was not disappointed. Not only was she well cared for, both Ben and Jo assisted greatly while the boat was being shown to prospective buyers, prior to, during and after FLIBS. I would highly recommend their services to anyone. In addition to their professionalism, both Ben and Jo were delightful people to work with."

"Thank you for all of the time and effort you put into helping Luke Brown Yachts and me... . Without your excellent caretaking skills and knowledge when dealing with brokers and clients, we would not have had such a smooth transaction as we did. ... It has been a pleasure working with you... ."

"A great crew is the beginning of a great cruise. We always knew with Captain Ben and Jo the boat would be maintained and ready to go, the route was planned, supplies were on board and our only responsibility was to enjoy a day at sea.

Equally important, since we only were on our boat three months out of the year, was the care of the boat when we were away. Captain Ben and Jo provided the management, protection; maintenance and cleaning during that off time so that the boat was always in perfect condition.

They are a great crew and always made our cruising an enjoyable experience."

"When you live 2,000 miles away from your boat as we did, it is reassuring and comforting to know that you have someone who is professional and reliable caring for your boat - especially during a hurricane. We had so many poor experiences before we found Stanley Yachts.....they were a joy!"
