2006

Confirmed!

The next Volvo Ocean RACE, will start off in 2008 from the port of Alicante. And indeed it will be in 2008 and not later, since the VOR will be celebrated every two years and not each four as it came until now happening.

The fact to shelter Spain the exit implies the participation of a Spanish equipment, although some rumors exist that would indicate the participation of two Spanish equipment.

In Sanxenxo 2005 we already enjoyed a fan multitude who was united in the exit of regata coastal celebrated in November of 2005 and the exit from Vigo was the prelude than it has gotten to be the Volvo Ocean RACE of 2005/06.

Glenn Bourke president of the Volvo Ocean RACE commented: “Spain is being like best anfitriona possible against the nautical events of greater spread”, “With the excellent work that is being realized with 32ª America' s Cup, we are totally trusting whereupon the exit of the Volvo Ocean RACE 2008/09 is going to be a total success. We hope in the same way that the Valencian Community shows a great support the Spanish equipment, that has made it Galicia with movistar during these nine months. The energy and the organizational capacity of the authorities of Alicante have made the final decision easy to again bring to Spain the exit”.

As one already went ahead, the route of the next edition will undergo variations, with shutdowns in Asia, East and the coast the West of the United States. According to we have also been able to listen.

And put to think…, How they will be the designs of futures VOR 2008? It seems clear as much that they would have to trust the design to the Argentinean Juan Kouyoumdjian, who net has demonstrated the superiority of his boats against the Farr, benefits as in structural solidity.

 The boats of Juan K. have not undergone not one long and hardest structural failure in all the regata, against multiple problems of the Farr that in the end lead to the collapse in half of the North Atlantic of the boat of the Spanish equipment Movistar.
