Ready, Steady, Go! - Volvo Ocean Race 2011-12

The 11th edition of the Volvo Ocean Race was tipped to be the closest ever, and it did not disappoint. For the first time in the race’s 39-year-history four boats were still in with a realistic chance of winning with a matter of days remaining. The high-tech third generation Volvo Open 70s made offshore racing appear like match racing and time and again thousands of miles of ocean racing came down to minutes and seconds at the finish line.
