Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing, skippered by Briton Ian Walker, completed the Volvo Ocean Race double yesterday when their sixth place in the final in-port race in Gothenburg was enough to secure victory.
On Monday, Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing claimed the main offshore trophy in the nine-month sailing challenge, which was contested over 38,739 nautical miles and visited 11 different ports and every continent.
Only one other team, ABN AMRO in 2005-06, have secured the offshore/in-port double in the 41-year history of the triennial event.
