A world record has already been achieved in the first leg of the gruelling Volvo Ocean Race<\/a> (formerly the Whitbread Round the World Race) by Sweden’s Ericsson 4 team.\u00a0 The yacht managed to achieve smashing the previous 24-hour monohull distance record by travelling an astounding 589 miles (1,085km) in the journey from Alicante in Spain to Cape Town in South Africa.\u00a0 The previous record was 562.97 miles and was set by ABN Amro 2 in January 2006 in the\"image Indian Ocean.<\/p>\n

The Ericsson 4, looks set to enjoy a healthy lead as the race reaches Cape Town, currently leading by 30miles ahead of the US Puma Racing team and could even break the record again with the prevailing weather conditions. The race is due to take in 10 legs encompassing Africa, Asia, the Americas and finally Europe before finishing in St Petersburg after covering 42,600 miles.<\/p>\n
