The Volvo Ocean Race

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich., – Have you seen the sailboats out in the bay this summer? We bet that those boats have never seen anything like the Volvo Ocean Race! The Volvo Ocean Race is a 9-month journey around the world, and it’s not for the faint of heart. The 2017-2018 race route has been announced and it’s tougher than ever before. Here are the details:

The race is 45,000 nautical miles long.

The Volvo Ocean Race

The boats will travel across four oceans and stop in 11 major cities on five continents. Cities include:

Alicante, Spain (Start)
Lisbon, Portugal
Cape Town, South Africa
Hong Kong, China
Guangzhou, China
Auckland, New Zealand
Itajai, Brazil
Newport, Rhode Island
Cardiff, Wales
Gothenburg, Sweden
The Hague, Netherlands (Finish)

12,500 of the 45,000 nautical miles will be spent traveling across the Southern Ocean, the brutal waters around the Antarctic, known to be rather tumultuous to sailors.

The Volvo Ocean Race

The Volvo Ocean Race is the most prestigious race of its kind. Grueling weather conditions and its unprecedented length make it a true test of character and teamwork.

The Volvo Ocean Race reflects its counterpart, Volvo Cars, in its desire for engineering greatness and unmatched design qualities. Both attributes which can be found in the boats of the race and the cars on our lot today. Take a look at our new vehicle inventory online!
