LISBON, Portugal, Victoria, Crown Princess of Sweden, experienced life in the fast lane on Friday – on water.<\/p>\n
The heiress to the throne took the helm in Lisbon of the all-women\u2019s boat of Team SCA during a practice ahead of Sunday’s eighth leg of the round-the-world, Volvo Ocean Race.<\/p>\n
She certainly enjoyed the experience in perfect sailing conditions, yelling to reporters at one stage: \u201cI love it – we\u2019ve got wind!\u201d<\/p>\n
Team SCA, the race\u2019s first female crew to contest the event in 12 years, have two more legs to negotiate before the finish in Gothenburg, Sweden, on June 27.<\/p>\n
The Princess’s family are already well acquainted with offshore sailing’s toughest challenge. Her younger brother, Prince Carl Philip, visited the same crew at the start of the nine-month race back in October.<\/p>\n
And he went one better than his big sister, being hoisted to the top of the 30-metre (100-foot) mast on another boat to take a ‘selfie’ photo (see above), which was reproduced in media all around the world.<\/p>\n
