Telefonica Black moves from Auckland to Alicante

How does one transport a 60ft yacht (a VOR Open60 to be precise) from Auckland, New Zealand to Alicante, Spain? You take a plane, open the nose, shove it in, fly it to Alicante (with refueling stops in Indonesia and Azerbaijan), open the nose again and unload it. Sounds easy, no?

I am always amazed when I see those big Antonov’s in action. They seem to be the only remaining part of the old USSR aviation technology. (Image: Maria Muina/Equipo Telefonica)
