Telling the Story of the Volvo Ocean Race

The 2014-15 Volvo Ocean Race began in Alicante, Spain on October 11, covering 38,739 nm on the way to the final In-Port Race on June 27 in Gothenburg, Sweden.

This was the third edition of the race with onboard reporters, with their contributions increasing with each edition. Also increased in this edition was the broadcast content, which resulted in three documentary programs to follow.
