VOLVO OCEAN RACE RACE RESULTS
The Volvo Ocean Race has finally come to an end after 8 months of nail biting action. Abu Dhabi ocean racing has won the overall Volvo Race with a total of 24 points, leading its closest competitor --Team Brunel who won the Inmarsat Gothengurg In-Port Race- by a whole 5 points. My heart goes out to the Dongfeng Race Team and the Vestas Wind Team for the mishaps they experienced and the points they lost because of it. The VOR was a race filled with emotions for every crew member of each of the 7 yachts. Every yachtsman's experiences so completely different from the other with enough memories to last a life time, filled with stories of the events at high seas, ranging from nausea, to extreme cold, to sleep deprivation, to wet clothes, to body odors, to communication differences, to fostering new bonds and relations, to despair, to anger, to body aches and pain, to mention just a few. Spectators would henceforth look very differently at yachts especially the Volvo 65 which is an amazing design made both for speed and comfort.
