VOLVO OCEAN RACE ON TG4
Programme 2: Highlights from the first leg of the 2008/09 Volvo Ocean Race which takes the boats from Alicante to Cape Town. This race is quite simply the 'Everest of Sailing' with the eight competing teams and boats sailing across 37,000 nautical miles of the globe's most treacherous seas. The event will visit 11 ports around the world. Throughout the event the crews will experience lif at the extreme and it is not difficult to see why this event, which was established in 1973 as The Whitbread Round the World Race, is undeniably the world's premier global race, and one of the most demanding team sporting events in the world. The race will come to Galway in May 2009.
