Although the Volvo Ocean Race competitors had a chance to rest for a two weeks after an exciting finish to Leg #3 from Cochin, India to Singapore, they're all back to work preparing for the Singapore In Port Race this Saturday, January 10th. While the shore teams worked through the holidays to get the boats back in top-racing condition, the sailors had time off and will return to Singapore on January 6th.

A few of the PUMA Ocean Racing team members took in a round of golf and friendly competition with the other Volvo Ocean Race teams on January 4th. The guys looked very stylish in PUMA Golf gear.

Make sure to keep up with the team as they continue their journey around the world in the Volvo Ocean Race. In addition to this site, you can also watch videos on YouTube. If you're a Facebook user, join the PUMA Ocean Racing group. Rick Deppe's photos, videos, and discussion topics will be posted to Facebook and you will have the opportunity to chat with other PUMA Ocean Racing fans. Send Kenny and the crew notes via the wall. You never know, your comments might be featured in one of the onboard blogs!

October and November were busy months at Newport Shipyard with over a dozen large yachts out of the water and being repaired/refit before heading South for the winter (or in some cases, staying at Newport Shipyard for a few months for re-paint, carpentry work, and rigging replaced/repaired).

"This has been one of the busiest seasons in Shipyard history," said Dock Master Eli Dana. With boats like Eleonora, Knickerbocker, Windcrest, Chippewa, Freedom, Looking for Elvis, Four Jacks, Kizbel and more now on the hard, our team of marine specialists and local contractors are busier than ever."

Following one of the busiest summers on Newport Shipyard record (with events like Newport-Bermuda Race Kick-Off Party, American Superyacht Forum, Brokerage Boat Show and more), Newport Shipyard would like to thank all the Boat Owners, Captains and Crew who made this year one of the best! We look forward to seeing you all next season!
