Within the world of international sailing, the Volvo Ocean Race is one of the toughest tests of human power and endurance. Carried out every three years, this exceptional regatta known as the “Everest of Sailing” challenges different teams to sail over 39,000 nautical miles, conquering the world’s most dangerous seas under some of the harshest wind and weather conditions.
Starting in October 2011 in Alicante, the race takes the crews via Cape Town, Abu Dhabi, Sanya, Auckland and Itajaj to Miami, Lisbon, Lorient and finally to Galyway, Ireland, where the race finishes in July 2012. The most advanced technology ensures that the impressive racing yachts can withstand extreme conditions such as severe storms and drastic temperature fluctuations. But nevertheless irregular seaways and strong winds can still provoke hazardous sailing manoeuvres and unexpected dangers.
As an ultimate adventure, the Volvo Ocean Race offers the experience of a lifetime. Rich in tradition, it is indisputably one of the most challenging and thrilling sporting events in the world
