Peters & May have been busy over the Christmas period with logistics support to several of the competitors in the Barcelona World Race who have been forced to retire.
"Team PRB" retired in Capetown following her dismasting. Peters & May's Cape Town office helped to managed the lift out and preparation of the yacht prior to loading onto a waiting ship for repatriation.
"Delta Dore" also retired following the loss of her rig. Peters & May organised the construction of a shipping cradle, followed by haul out and the removal of keel prior Christmas 2007. In early January she was loaded aboard a cargo vessel bound for Sheerness in the UK
"Estrella Damm" was also forced to retire with rudder problems. Again she was lifted onto a shipping cradle and after removal of her keel, loaded aboard the same ship to Sheerness.
On arrival in Sheerness the two yachts were offloaded direct to water. "Delta Dore" motored direct to her Lorient base in France, without her mast and keel, whilst "Estrella Damm" re-stepped her mast in Ipswich prior to her return to Lorient. Peters & May completed the shipment with the road delivery of both cradles and keel to the Lorient base.
