Lets buy a VO 70 and finish the race

   With the current volvo race entries dropping like flies, if someone (us say) were to turn up with another boat (this one say:  https://www.yachtworld.com/boats/2005/Carvel-Marine-Volvo-Op en-70-1968405/NY/United-States ) and offer to do the remaining legs - USA onwards.  I doubt they would turn us down.  
A corinthian effort entry, last minute, amatures (more or less), media would love it.  There have got to be enough people on here good enough to sail and organise it, and the boat is a bargin, whos in?  Granted there are a few things that would need to be sorted before we could race, but nothing is impossible.  
P.S. any chance of a little Y&Y sponsorship if we organise it all here?

	What to buy a boat that cost £909,090.91 (important the 91p) So thats 242,424 copies of Y+Y you have to sell (at £3.75 each) Or 18181 Gold Classifications (at £50 each) Just to buy the boat! The experience - Priceless!
