Volvo Ocean Race 2008-2009 Route Map
The 2008-09 Volvo Ocean Race will be the 10th running of this ocean marathon. Starting from Alicante in Spain on 4 October 2008, it will for the first time, take in ports in Asia. Spanning some 39,000 nautical miles, stopping at around 11 ports and taking nine months to complete, the Volvo Ocean Race is the world’s premier yacht race for professional racing crews.
With lots of teams already far in the preparations, including a Russian Team, this edition of the VOR promises to be a very competitive and exciting one! We’ll regularly post important news or nice photo’s about the boats as soon as we receive them. (Image: (c) Volvo Ocean Race)
