Race to Repair: Biotherm foils

The Biotherm team of technicians is in a race against the clock to repair their damaged foil ahead of leg 4. 

The team has moved the foil project to a composite materials facility near Itajaí where specialists are grinding back the damaged material to find the 'good' part, which will be built up layer by layer with new carbon fibre. 

Once completed, the repaired area should be as good as new. 

But it is time-consuming work and the new lamination needs to happen in stages. The race is on!
