Horrevoets: Albatros Or Pigeon

When ABN AMRO TWO decided to return to the water as a mark of respect for crewmate Hans Horrevoets, who died during Leg 7, they said the spirit of their lost friend would watch over them.

Today they had something hovering over them; a pigeon. It nested on the cockpit roughly one minute after the start and throughout two hours of crashing over a choppy sea to the west of the Isle of Wight, it remained perched. Seconds after the finishing canon sounded it flew away, having not missed a beat of the young crew’s race to a fourth place finish.
