“Since the inception of the Volvo Ocean 65 and its strict ‘1 Design’ criteria, it has been clear that all processes throughout the build of the boat had been closely followed. With the experience of Stefano and his boys from QI Composites it was an easy choice to have QI involved from the very beginning in 2012. Now we are in full of race mode, Stefano Beltrando and his men are performing NDT at avery stopover in The Volvo Ocean Race to ensure the Volvo Ocean 65’s are going to sea in the best condition possible. To ensure these boats are in the best possible condition, every technician on site needs to know these boats inside out and that is no exception with the team from QI Composites”
