Introduction<br />
“The Volvo Ocean Race<br />
has been quite simply,<br />
the experience of a lifetime.”<br />
– Ken Read, Skipper,<br />
Puma Ocean Racing<br />
Guest Experience<br />
Volvo Ocean Race<br />
The Volvo Ocean Race is sailing’s greatest<br />
adventure and professional sport’s ultimate<br />
test of teamwork.<br />
Born in 1973 as the Whitbread Round the<br />
World Race, it remains a unique challenge<br />
– as teams compete against each other over<br />
45,000 nautical miles around the planet, in<br />
relentless pursuit of competitive edge.<br />
Starting in Alicante, Spain, and finishing in<br />
The Hague, The Netherlands, the race lasts<br />
nine months and takes in 11 landmark cities<br />
across five continents.<br />
The Volvo Ocean Race provides unique<br />
and memorable experiences, not only for<br />
the sailors onboard, but also for your guests,<br />
who can join us for a slice of the action.<br />

“There’s nothing like it.<br />
It gets in your blood,<br />

Due to the unpredictable nature of the race,<br />
there is no saying what time of day or night<br />
the teams could arrive. Teams can arrive<br />
in the middle of the day, to the noise of<br />
thousands of race fans cheering them on,<br />
or in the early hours of the morning, creating<br />
a more intimate and magical experience<br />
for die-hard fans, loved ones and specially<br />
invited guests.<br />
Arrivals can take many different forms.<br />
Teams could arrive close together and<br />
take part in an exhilarating battle to cross<br />
the finish line. Alternatively, a team might<br />
arrive unaccompanied, having distanced<br />
themselves from the rest of the fleet.<br />
From a high-speed RIB your guests can<br />
experience the once-in-a-lifetime moment<br />
when the teams cross the finish line and<br />
arrive at a new Host City.<br />
Your guests will become part of the<br />
Volvo Ocean Race story, as we take<br />
them within touching distance of the<br />
team crossing the finish line, and give<br />
them access to the stars of the show.<br />
This is a real VVIP experience.<br />
“You could really feel the joy of a hard-fought<br />
victory, a triumph over nature and a series<br />
of setbacks. The seemingly weightless boat,<br />
the eerie silence on the water, the fight for<br />
every gust of wind… To me it was something<br />
purely magical.”<br />
– Jan Arie van Barneveld,<br />

“It’s wonderful to be on board with<br />
your team and senior colleagues<br />
from your company. During the<br />
event, we became part of Team<br />
Brunel Family.”<br />
– Nandkishor Dhuri,<br />
after the Abu Dhabi stopover<br />
The In-Port Race is a key part of the Race<br />
Village Experience. At the end of the race,<br />
there is a separate trophy for the overall<br />
In-Port Race Series winners, and positions<br />
in the series will be used to break any tie<br />
in the main Volvo Ocean Race table.<br />
The fast-paced action can be experienced<br />
on land, onboard a VIP spectator boat, or<br />
onboard a high-speed RIB.<br />
Our official VIP flag will ensure your<br />
guests on the water have unprecedented<br />
views of the action, and our professional<br />
commentators will keep your guests<br />
updated on what’s happening in the race.<br />

Photo: Ainhoa Sanchez/Volvo Ocean Race
The Volvo Ocean Race is the toughest<br />
sailing race in the world and the inherent<br />
dangers of ocean racing are something<br />
all sailors and their families are acutely<br />
aware of. The Leg Start is the time when<br />
our teams say goodbye to their loved<br />
ones and set sail for the next leg of the<br />
Volvo Ocean Race.<br />
There is an official dock out show, with<br />
local entertainment, a Sailors Parade, live<br />
interviews on the dock, and a blessing<br />
of the fleet. The teams complete a fastpaced<br />
lap, similar to the In-Port Race<br />
course, before setting off for the next Leg<br />
of the race.<br />
“This is the worst part of<br />
every single leg, just saying<br />
goodbye to your family.”<br />
– Ken Read, skipper,<br />
Puma Ocean Racing<br />
Your guests can be part of this emotionally<br />
charged moment. From the Sailors Terrace,<br />
onboard a VIP spectator boat, or onboard a<br />
high-speed RIB, your guests can be part of<br />
the race.<br />
Our VIP flag will get your guests on water<br />
closer to the Volvo Ocean 65s than anyone<br />
else as they depart. Our professional<br />
commentators will explain the race and<br />
keep your guests updated on the action.<br />

business in my office at<br />
home as in the Sailors<br />
Terrace in the Volvo Ocean<br />
Race. From impromptu<br />
meetings through to<br />
important private dinners<br />
this was the place to be”<br />
– Andrew Pindar, GAC Pindar<br />

for your meetings, conferences and events.<br />
Guest Experience<br />
Volvo Ocean Race<br />
During the previous edition of the race, the<br />
Boatyard breakfast hosted thousands of<br />
corporate guests, giving them a truly behind<br />
the scenes experience before they boarded<br />
spectator boats to watch an In-Port Race or<br />
Leg Start from the heart of the action.<br />
Additionally, VIP guided tours were carried<br />
out in every stopover, and the Boatyard also<br />
hosted several conferences, crew parties<br />
and informal BBQs for race stakeholders.<br />

The Globe<br />
The polidomes geodesic cinema was<br />
originally designed to present the everyday<br />
‘routine’ of the yacht crews to enthusiasts<br />
on an amazing 360º video screen.<br />
Flexible seating, a professional sound and<br />
AV system, and a large cinema screen,<br />
makes for the perfect setting in which to<br />

Guest Experience<br />
Volvo Ocean Race<br />
The Race Boat Experience was the most<br />
popular animation asset in 2014-15, with<br />
more than half a million people visiting and<br />
crawling through the boat to experience<br />
the Volvo Ocean Race’s unique cramped<br />
conditions for themselves.<br />
A large tent-structure displaying a<br />
full-size Volvo Ocean 65 Race Boat<br />
Experience, complete with bunks, a<br />
navigation table, a toilet, and an On-<br />
Board Reporter work station, this is a<br />
special place to host a drinks reception<br />
or presentation, whilst giving your guests<br />
a better idea of what life is like onboard<br />
for the Volvo Ocean Race sailors.<br />
“Giving our partners a chance to<br />
take in the Race as well as take a<br />
look behind the scenes, meet some<br />
crew members and give them a once<br />
in a life-time experience has secured<br />
greater collaboration, commitment<br />
and loyalty for years to come.”<br />

Come Rain Or Shine<br />
The unpredictable nature of the weather, means that very occasionally,<br />
the In-Port Race or the Leg Start might be postponed. We will have<br />
access to up-to-date information about the racing should this be the<br />
case. Rest assured, we will have a back-up plan for your guests should<br />
the weather take a turn for the worse.<br />
