Telefonica successfully carries out structural tests of its two boats

Right after splashing their blue boat earlier in the morning, Telefonica's two VOR yachts underwent a number of structural tests. According to Telefonica, it's the first time such tests are carried out, given the fact they were introduced after the previous edition of the round-the-world race.
