Camper, the Volvo Ocean Race entry sailed by Emirates Team New Zealand has arrived in the French port of Lorient as she heads for the race start in Alicante.

Lorient has been converted from a World War 2 submarine base into a haven for trans-oceanic racing, and houses many current and past French ocean racers.
