The six teams are making their way from Itajai to Newport. SCA and Alvimedica check in; things are going well, but it’s not over until it’s over.

The J/109 North American Championship will be the talk of the tent. They’ve got the numbers and the rivalries to fuel the rum karate.

The Pro-Am, In-Port, and Leg-Start races are the racing highlight of each Volvo Ocean Race Stopover.

It’s the only race of its kind, connecting five continents, over roughly 40,000 thousand ocean miles. See a leg-by-leg breakdown of the Volvo Ocean Race so far.

Meet the people and teams bold enough to compete in the Volvo Ocean Race.

In the heart of the Volvo Ocean Race Newport Race Village is the Exploration Zone, where visitors and sailors are inspired and educated about sailing and the ocean.
