The Volvo Ocean Race has halved the cost for competing sponsors, opening the field for a wider range of teams to compete in the grueling round-the-world event.
As the fleet gears up for the leg 5 start, check out the full recap of the Auckland in-port race.
Although they’ve been hovering under the radar of sailing fans, Multi One Design 70 trimarans could shine in the spotlight if given the chance. With the right media, better scheduling, and improved promotion, these incredibly fast boats could really take flight.
Franck Cammas did not let the fact that both he and Groupama were new players in the Volvo Ocean Race stand in his way as he sailed into an overall victory for 2011-’12 series.

Leg 5 of the Volvo Ocean Race was noteworthy primarily for the damage done to boats throughout the fleet, with five of six boats sustaining significant damage and two of six dropping out of the leg. Is the Volvo Open 70 rule to blame?
