For anyone interested go onto the (live) site at volvooceanrace.com where you get live updates, their current positions, the teams, the boats, ports and stopoevers and the infrastructure and support set up at each stop/hosting port. Having pulled off AC we could certainly do this.

The cross Island venue, the old AC Village is a perfect spot for Volvo Ocean Race or other sailing race, an international motorsports race such as Formula E or Formula 1, a bicycle race, you name it. The new Bermuda Event Authority, look into this. It could be the best location in the world as the infrastructure is already there.

We’re working with Govt and the local AC sponsor group to systematically evaluate all options.

For anyone interested this is going on right now and they are on 2nd leg Alicante to Cape Town. These are high performance race boats with all 7 boats built to the exact same specifications – so it comes down to the crew. Briefly put. But the stopovers are traditional and some not so traditional (Hong Kong this year). This is very similar as AC35 since it is ‘hosting’ the event with all that entails. But as a stopoever it is shorter but intense and record breaking. Just a thought for 4 years from now. Bermuda’s own Emily Nagel is participating in this right now and she joined this prestigious event through her participation in America’s Cup.
