Salma Hayek

With five months to go, the teams are gearing up for the 2008 Volvo Ocean race, and so is the media. The lovely Salma Hayek was given the honors of christening Puma Ocean Racing's new il mostro, making her the godmother of the gleaming Volvo Open 70 sailboat, which will be practicing out of Newport, Rhode Island, USA for the next four months.
