Miami has successfully fought off tough competition from other North American ports, in its bid to win back the event it previously hosted in the 2001-02 edition of the race. Miami will see the boats arrive after their charge north from the Brazilian port of Itajai.
“The Volvo Ocean Race is by far the world’s premier global race. It’s a great honour to have Miami selected as a featured stopover,†said Commission Chairman Marc Sarnoff. |
