...Team VESTAS WIND...the resurrection thread.

[left hook]

If they've decided to trash the hull then a chainsaw around the step would involve far fewer tears than fuxxing with the pin.

 

[smc]

if they make it surely with a different navigator ....

Maybe not, he's had the big f-up now, and will never do it again, could be the best Nav now!

Ho boy.

Would he be at the press con if he's planning to resign?

Where is the press con info from anyway?

You've never used a chainsaw on composite structures have you? Especially with a cantilevered load attached to the bit your cutting.

 

[John Drake]

All held up by a helicopter mind you.

What could possibly go wrong?

Absolutely nothing, just as long as Wes the 'mid mast man and keel trimmer' and soon to be announced 'shore boss and salvage expert'

Is retained on the pay role.

The best way to try to save something worth from Vestas 1 should be to charter the Marion Dufresne, currently in La Réunion. The ship is fully equiped to pull the wreckage from the reef and hoist it on its deck, as it was done with Cheminées Poujolat (Bernard Stamm) during 2008 WG.

So they would re-join the race with a new hull and the newest sails of the fleet... Nice.

 

[Sean]

I would be surprised if the afterguard wasn't replaced.

I would be surprised if they were.

Why do you say this? Looks like they pulled all of the sails off of the boat with them plus there's the set of "practice" sails I'm sure they would be obligated to use before building a new set.

......oh yeh,,they'd also have had a coupl'a legs break.

...surely their 'fresh' will counteract all the tuning time the others get :mellow:

Would you give the keys to the bus to these guys a second time?

If I could make a real story out of it; a symbol for Vestas the company's successs in the face of all kinds of adversity in the alternative energy world. The company has a compelling story, and Nico is sort of ideal to play that role.

When the Vestas Wind Crew met with company CFO and head bean counter they were told the following. "The most senior executives were too far vested in high maintenance "girlfriend" commitments at the next stops to can the program. It is also too late to get many of the deposits back for the VIP boondoggles and such. No choice the show must go on and we are stuck paying you crew guys. Since you trashed the outrageous new boat we bought you, that mistake will not happen again. The controller who knows a thing or two about sailing has found something called a Macgregor for you to finish the job with. The new boat has been bought and the advertising team is getting it painted blue at a volvo authorized body shop in Cleveland before we fly the replacement boat to you. The sails you saved off the boat you trashed will be cut and sewn by you in your hotel room(singular) to fit the replacement boat. The social media marketing team has hired Kim Kardashian's mother to sail and tweet your progress from here on out. If you knuckleheads get shipwrecked again we will leave you with her wherever you are this time. If you embarrass us again in any way we will put that fellow Clean on the boat with you until you finish this race. If It were up to me you would not get another dime. But, I do not run this company. I am just stuck writing the checks and trying to explain where this cash went."

i can't tell if that's supposed to be funny, ironic, satirical, or somehow entertaining, because it is none of them.

Well, I found it a funny, ironic, satirical and a somewhat entertaining Dilbertesque parody of the 'Murican bean-counter,

So different from the Wikipedia presentation of Morten Albaek

Morten Noedgaard Albæk (born July 28, 1975) is CMO and Group Senior Vice President for Marketing, Communication & Corporate Relations at global wind turbine manufacturer Vestas Wind Systems A/S. Morten Albaek has an academic background in History and Philosophy and is an Honorary Professor in Philosophy and Education at Aalborg University.[1] He is also the only Scandinavian ever to be selected four times for the Internationalist’s Top 100 Most Influential CMOs in the World,[2][3] was declared one of 18 Global Champions in 2011,[4] and one of 50 Global Marketing Leaders in 2012.[5] He was appointed Global Thought Leader by Recharge in April 2013[6] and appointed by Recharge in 2014 as one of the world’s 40 new energy leader under 40 whom can change the energy mix of the planet.[7] Finally, he was selected in 2014 by Fast Company among the 1000 most creative business people in the world.[8]

Rooted in academic philosophy, Morten Albaek believes in creating an enlightenment economy as the antithesis to the experience economy, and in merging capitalism and humanism (the two “isms’’ that have dominated Western culture for more than 500 years) into Capitalistic Humanism, which serves as a cognitive and ideological frame for creating sustainable change.[9]
