Ericsson Racing Team (STO:ERIC) As the crews of Ericsson Racing Team made their way to their respective boats, they were engulfed by thousands of spectators as they paraded through the race village.
When the gates opened to the Race Village spectators came in their thousands to see the fleet leave the dock and some two hours later there were still queues snaking down the surrounding roads. When the time came for the sailors to parade through the village it made for one of the most spectacular departure ceremonies the event has ever seen. Spectators pressed deep into the passage walked by the sailors and, what should have been a quick 200-metre walk, took most crews seven or eight minutes.
Once boarded, the boats performed a parade of sail around the harbor before setting off to the start area.
