Volvo Ocean Race

The Volvo Ocean Race is the ultimate mix of world class sporting competition and on the edge adventure

It takes over nine months and covers nearly 39,000 nautical miles of the globe's most treacherous seas. Raced over 10 legs, the 2008-2009 race visited 11 ports around the world and incorporated 7 inshore races.

The teams comprise professional sportsmen and women at the top of their game. The race requires their utmost skill, physical endurance and competitive spirit as they race from continent to continent in an easterly direction around the world.
