About the Volvo Ocean Race
The Volvo Ocean Race is the ultimate mix of world class sporting competition and on-the-edge adventure, with a tradition dating back 35 years.
Eight international teams of 10 sailors, plus one dedicated media crew member, are competing in 10 offshore legs, along with seven in-port races. Scoring points are accumulated through each stage of the race to determine the overall winner.
The 2008-09 edition of the Volvo Ocean Race started in Alicante, Spain on 11 October 2008 and is scheduled to finish in St. Petersburg on 20 June, 2009, following a 37 000 nautical mile lap of the planet.
For the first time, the race is visiting Asia, with stopovers in Cochin, India, Singapore, and Qingdao, China.
