Visit the race
There’s
no better way to follow the race than to get up close and personal at
the race villages. Get amongst the action of the world’s toughest
sailing race and check out 10 amazing countries as the Volvo Ocean Race
fleet sails into 10 host ports around the world in 2011-12.
The race began in Alicante, Spain on October 29 and will visit Cape Town, Abu Dhabi, Sanya, Auckland, Itajaí, Miami, Lisbon, Lorient and finish in Galway, Ireland in July 2012.
Next Stop Sanya
An idyllic tropical city, is the fourth stop in the 2011-12 race. Located on the Chinese island of Hainan, the city is known as much for its crystal clear waters as its warm welcome. Visit the tropical oasis’s race village from February 4 to February 19. You can discover more about Sanya at Sanya host port page and the official host port website, where you will find all the details you will need to plan your trip.
For more information, visit the Sanya Stopover website www.volvooceanracesanya.com.
Sanya race village will be open from February 17 - 19, 2012
The race villiage is located at Sanya Serenity Marina - see the location here
If Qingdao was characterised by a freezing fog, then “China’s Hawaii” will offer something a little more welcoming when the race makes its second visit to the country.
Sitting on the southern tip of Hainan province, this idyllic tropical city rarely has a daytime temperature of less than 23°C, even at the height of winter. As such, it is rated one of the best spots in the country for relaxation and water sports (Yalong Bay is recommended for the former and Wuzhizhou Island the latter), with clear blue seas and miles of sandy beaches. Hiking is also popular with visitors to Sanya, the mountains offering some challenging yet stunning paths. For golfers like Ken Read, Sanya has 11 courses, two of which are included in the famous Yalong Bay NationalResort.
“It is beautiful,” was the summary of Guo Chuan, the first Chinese sailor to participate in the race. “I am from Qingdao but Sanya is a much nicer place to go in winter! There is a lot to do there and the weather is always good.”
Sanya also has a proud cultural history, dating back to the Qin Dynasty (221 BC – 206 BC), and the Guan Yin of the South Sea of Sanya statue shouldn’t be missed (literally, as it is 108 metres tall, making it the fourth highest in the world).
Romantics are often advised to head for Luhuitou Park, a peninsula some five kilometers from Sanya’s urban centre. Legend has it (by that, we mean Wikipedia) that a hunter once chased a deer to this headland. Cornered, the deer turned to face the hunter and then morphed into a beautiful woman and the man could not kill her. As such, Luhuitou is known as a place for lovers, couples often visiting a statue at the site and leaving a padlock on a chain in the hope that their love will last.
