Volvo race is heading to Docklands

By Shane Wylie

The Volvo Ocean Race is the world’s premier offshore race, an exceptional test of sailing prowess and human endeavour, which started over 37 years ago and is held every three years.

This year, after sailing through the southern oceans and the roaring forties the fleet will rest in Victoria Harbour between December 27 and January 2.

You can keep up to date via our Facebook page which will list all the updates of the race as they head towards our harbour – http://www.fb.me/MelbDock
