LISBON, Portugal, Victoria, Crown Princess of Sweden, experienced life in the fast lane on Friday – on water.<\/strong><\/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

5 October, 2014. HRH Prince Carl Philip of Sweden takes a selfie on top of the mast of Dongfeng Race Team before the ProAm Race for the Volvo Ocean Race.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\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

\nUpplevelsen f\u00f6ll henne uppenbarligen i smaken och vid ett tillf\u00e4lle ropade hon \u201d Jag \u00e4lskar det \u2013 vi har vind\u201d\u00a0till reportrar i n\u00e4rheten .<\/p>\n
