9 Reasons to be excited right now!
- The start of the Volvo Ocean Race is down to single figures – 9 days.
- 9 months of high octane ocean racing excitement lies ahead, bringing fans all the very best of what ocean racing stands for –life at the extreme.
- The 2011/12 Volvo Ocean Race promises to be the closest and most exciting ever in the sports history.
- 3 South Africans, on 3 different teams, with 3 chances of having a Volvo Ocean Race winner in 2012. Don’t bet against it!
- After the FIFA World Cup and the Olympics, the Volvo Ocean race is the world’s most viewed event globally on television. That focus, and its considerable impact, will soon focus on Cape Town. Let’s give them a show they won’t forget!
- The youth of Cape Town will benefit this year by a bigger and more focused development project in conjunction with the Volvo Ocean race. The long term goal is a South African built boat in the Volvo, crewed by a South African crew.
- Cape Town is an adventure / outdoor sport haven, and having the world’s best sailors on our shores, showcasing the most state-of-the-art racing machines on the planet will have the ‘armchair’ sport fans literally trembling in anticipation!
- As Capetonians, there is a sense of pride in being part of a sports event that is the biggest to hit our shores since FIFA 2010 World Cup.
- Because it’s the Volvo Ocean Race dammit! Get excited or go home!
