Regarded as the ‘Everest of sailing’, the Volvo Ocean Race is run every four years as a grueling 39,000 mile round the world yacht race; testing the skills, physical endurance and competitiveness of the professional crews.
For the first time the Middle East will play host to the fleet, with Abu Dhabi included as the second stop for the 2011-12 competition. The race is scheduled to arrive in Abu Dhabi on the 30th December 2011 for a fantastic New Years Eve celebration after a long 5,430 mile journey from Cape Town. The fleet then remains in port until 14th January 2012 when the race continues on to Sanya.
