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

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

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