Volvo Ocean Race - An Introduction

The first question, I get from curious readers, friends and editors is what's Volvo Ocean Race? Volvo Ocean Race, said to be the best among the sailing competitions in the world is coined as the toughest in the adventure sporting event. The racing teams are put through extreme pressure and probable threats during their sailing.

From the press releases I've been following - the direct accounts of what the sailors go through, Volvo Ocean Race is the toughest yacth-racing event in the world history.

The story of the volvo Ocean Race began 35 years back. We are currently witnessing, the 10th such running, which began in October 2008 and will cover 37,000 nautical miles before reaching its finishing point in June 2009.
More about the racing teams and Kochi stopover, in my subsequent posts.
