Since 1973, the Volvo Ocean Race has provided the ultimate test of a team and a human adventure like no other. Over four decades it has kept an almost mythical hold over some of the greatest ever sailors – and the 2017-18 edition will take the teams 46,000 nautical miles around the world, across four oceans, touching six continents and 12 landmark Host Cities.The Volvo Ocean Race is often described as the longest and toughest professional sporting event in the world, sailings toughest team challenge and one of the sport's Big Three events, along with the Olympics and America's Cup. To truly understand the race, though, it's better to think of it in terms thousands of sailors who have taken part over the years will recognise immediately. Put simply, the Volvo Ocean Race is an obsession, and many of the world's best sailors have dedicated years, decades even, in trying to win it.
