The WSSRC ratified the record set by the VO 70 on 5 April, after she
sailed 530.19 nautical miles in 24 hours, at an average speed of 22.09
knots.

'Excellent news for the whole team, the sponsors and the Volvo Ocean
Race,' says Pedro CAMPOS (ESP), General Manager and inshore helmsman
of MoviStar.

'Even though the feat was achieved last week, we have had to wait
until today [Monday - Ed] for the WSSRC to confirm the record. Now we
are officially the monohull that has run the greatest number of miles
in 24 hours in the whole history of sailing,' CAMPOS continued.
