To celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the Volvo Ocean Race, we’ve created a short film about the spirit and the people behind sport’s ultimate test of character.
Since its beginnings as the Whitbread in 1973 to the present day, the Volvo Ocean Race has been about passion, courage and pride. We’ve had 40 years of highs, lows, pushing a little harder and reaching a little higher.
Here’s to the next 40,000 miles and the next 40 years.
The Volvo Ocean Race returns in October 2014.
Expect more like this to be uploaded to the Official Volvo Ocean Race YouTube Channel in the future. Get all the latest updates on www.VolvoOceanRace.com

Only been the Volvo since 2001. For 25 years it was the Whitbread. While I appreciate everything Volvo has done, let's give credit where credit is due. Something like, "Carrying the great tradition of Whitbread…" But to claim it all for yourselves is a slap in the face of the pioneers who truly put their lives on the line, men who were true adventurers.
Does anybody knows what's the music playing in the end ?
Great video! What's the music playing behind? Inspiring

Technically it's only been the "volvo" ocean race for about 12 years, but we'll let that one slide…
Y cada vez que lo veo, se me ponen los pelos de punta. Admirable el trabajo de los equipos de navegantes, de organización y de tierra. Sin olvidar a los que ya no están con nosotros.
¡ Fantástico!
Just come back from my first ocean crossing (southern Atlantic) wow I have so much respect for those guys!
Salute to all the brave men and women doing this awesome trip around the world. I tip my hat to you all.
