On February 26, the “Dongfeng†sailboat was the only one in China to participate in the 2014-2015 Volvo Ocean Race regatta and arrived in Sanya, Hainan, from the UK for the first time. At the same time, the "Dongfeng Team" captain and candidate crew members that have been publicly selected in the world have met with the media. The "Dongfeng" squad, which is exclusively named by the Chinese heavy truck manufacturer and Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle Co., Ltd., will be driven by the "Dongfeng Team" in October this year and will go to the world's top sailing events to help the development of China's ocean-going sailing.
