Hello, thanks for the question. Amory shoots on a Canon 5D & a 7D. He also has a number of GoPro cameras that he is able to affix to Mar Mostro for unique angles. Mar Mostro herself has 5 cameras mounted at various spots around the boat, these can be controlled from the helm. What photos have been your favorites?

We realize a few of you might be wondering “where the HELL is PUMA going right now?!” Well, we have a plan…if you look at the weather patterns over the next 24-72 hours, we’re sailing towards the center of a large front with strong winds, the intention is ride this southeast towards New Zealand. The rest of the fleet is currently sailing away from the weather, our hope is to slingshot past them while in the middle of this thing. It is a bit of a gamble, but with the competition being this good, you need to roll the dice when you see a slight advantage. Play around with the Volvo Ocean Race tracker, overlay the weather, run some scenarios. What would you do? High-res

Yes, he was part of a junior sailing program, and yes, members of the group raced. But Sandberg hastened to add: They did not become burned out because sailing was more fun.”
