Team Vestas Wind 's navigator was found guilty of the accident that happened to the crew during the second leg of the Volvo Ocean Race : Wouter Ferbraak was removed from his position.
As the examination of the data showed, the yachtsman did not study the electronic chart sufficiently and failed to «outline» the danger zone near the reefs. It was only possible to spot them by enlarging the size of the maps.
The error (which had cost the team their boat) would not allow the navigator to compete if Team Vestas was able to put out to sea again.
Recall that the yacht Team Vestas Wind hit the rocks near the island of Mauritius
. No one was injured as a result of the accident, but the crew dropped out of the contenders for the main prize of the circumnavigation.
