Sail-World report that "It has so far been an exciting adventure for the selected eight Academy Squad sailors as they raced from Hong Kong to Sanya, China in two Jeanneau Sun Fast 3200’s. Split into two teams they have been fiercely competing against each other for the past 48 hours in the South China Sea as part of their offshore training with Dongfeng Race Team. The Dongfeng Race Team will be holding a final round of selection trials on the eighth and ninth of February. The team have a new list of Chinese applicants they will trial and should these applicants be successful they too will join the Dongfeng Race Team Academy Squad. It is from this squad the Chinese members of the final race crew will be chosen for the Volvo Ocean Race."
