Family Holiday to the Ocean Race Up for Grabs at Volvo Dealer Weekend

#vor – Sail into a Volvo garage next weekend and you could win a family holiday to Spain for the start of the Volvo Ocean Race next October.

The great prize for sailors is part of a Volvo promotion from February 21-23 at dealerships nationwide where the long standing supporter of Irish sailing (Volvo sponsors Ireland's biggest regatta in Dun Laoghaire) is displaying its 2014 range with the XC90, the V40 and the S60.

Eagle eyed sailors may already have spotted the prize advertised in the national press at the weekend and online. More here

Alicante will be the focus of world sailing attention from October 4 when the round the world race starts. One lucky Irish family will get the chance to wave on sole Irish sailor in the race, Justin Slattery from Cork who is competing for a second time as bowman on Abu Dhabi Racing.

Along with the race itself there is also the chance to see Spanish castles, take in the history and climb mountains, the beaches are the main draw for millions who flock to the region in search of sun and sea.
