The storied Volvo Ocean Race is one of the world’s most formidable extreme global nautical adventures—the ultimate competition of man against the elements. Beginning October 2008 in Alicante, Spain, the race covers nearly 39,000 nautical miles and visits 11 ports around the globe over the span of nine months. In North America, Fan Pier, Boston’s world-class waterfront destination, will be it’s only stopover. Join us April 27—May 16 for all the excitement and spectacle of this unique experience.
