The onboard reporters did a masterful job of showing the land world why we sail, and the cruisers why we race. VOR set itself out to be about the sailors, the human story, and this masterfully edited piece shows that beautifully.
No argument Stuart....a wonderful video. I've been a sailing fanatic since childhood. Mind you, in rough seas shots......my thoughts immediately go out to the incredibly courageous heroes (made up of trained volunteers no less) of the RNLI. How they relentlessly perform rescues in the North Sea and around Great Britain.....for nary a dollar, let alone a prize dollar.....I feel is THE most admirable of sailors. If I may quote from the rescue helicopter pilot (unable to lift survivors due to violent waves) who was at the Penlee lifeboat disaster, of the Solomon Browne crew "The greatest act of courage that I have ever seen, and am ever likely to see, was the penultimate courage and dedication shown by the Penlee [crew] when it manoeuvred back alongside the casualty in over 60 ft breakers and rescued four people shortly after the Penlee had been bashed on top of the casualty's hatch covers. They were truly the bravest eight men I've ever seen, who were also totally dedicated to upholding the highest standards of the RNLI." If you are unaware of this disaster "both vessels were lost with all hands; in all, sixteen people died including eight volunteer lifeboatmen".Any sailor....worth his sea legs....donates....annually....to the RNLI. Bless them all !
I come back to this video, again and again. Whenever I'm having a tough time with my studies, or social life, or in sailing. Without fail, it leaves me with a smile on my face and inspires me to do something greater than myself, and to leave everything behind and do something that I truly love. Thanks to this video, I've already raced from San Francisco to San Diego offshore, and am hoping to do it again this summer with the addition of the Pacific Cup or Transpac Tahiti race. And of course, I hope for an Ocean Race in my future.
What a great video! The race it is amazing, but the way the images were caught, the music, the way the edition was made, the text, everything it's absolutily fantastic. Great work! Congratulations!!
I too would love to see it more often but considering the cost and the logistics I doubt it could be done so well. And yes I miss checking the race first on the computer. Roll on the next edition
The speech Here is to those with salt in their blood, their sweat and tears. To those who know that there are other firsts, more valuable that being up the front. Who can create, from inexperience, and experience without compare. Here is to those who can be singular, even when responsibility is shared. To the friendships, to the rivalries, and the personal victories, so long in the making. Here is to those who take pride in every tiny action, knowing every contribution, creates a greater whole. Who live the rhythm of the days and waves for hours to sleep, to work, and hear the breathing of the world. Here is to those who face the unforgiving ocean. When all the while the second is take away. Who despite their own mistakes and those of others, hold fast and strive to win another day. Here is to the men and women that live beyond their limits. Who ride the wave of fortune´s pitch and toss. Who face greatness and conquering it take some of that greatness upon themselves. Here is to those faced, and won against, all doubt and fear. And in that sort of blood, and sweat, and tears. They who have found what it is to be alive.
This a good video? Guys, seriously, this is like Blender effect. Messing video bits and pieces. Random pics, too many cuts no real story in the images. Sorry, realy bad video this. Text is good, but please remix agian, now before the blender was turned on.

So glad that we live in a modern age where coverage of such an event can happen.

Spectacular video. Bravo to whoever wrote the "unforgiving ocean" monologue... just about brings me to tears every time.
Since the first time I saw it i truly believe there isn´t such motivational sailing video as this one. Just incredible
What a great video! The race it is amazing, but the way the images were caught, the music, the way the edition was made, the text, everything it's absolutily fantastic. Great work! Congratulations!!
Wow! Well done!
This video, spectacularly done, captures well the spirit of ocean racing.
VOR continues to shine bright with another piece of engaging video. Bravo Zulu!
Thanks for making it public again!
Best Volvo Ocean Race video yet!!!
Wish this race come around more often. When it's on it's the first thing i look at on my computer, before emails, everything
I too would love to see it more often but considering the cost and the logistics I doubt it could be done so well. And yes I miss checking the race first on the computer. Roll on the next edition
Awesome Race, that's more than a race,
Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
The speech
Here is to those with salt in their blood, their sweat and tears.
To those who know that there are other firsts, more valuable that being up the front.
Who can create, from inexperience, and experience without compare.
Here is to those who can be singular, even when responsibility is shared.
To the friendships, to the rivalries, and the personal victories, so long in the making.
Here is to those who take pride in every tiny action, knowing every contribution, creates a greater whole.
Who live the rhythm of the days and waves for hours to sleep, to work, and hear the breathing of the world.
Here is to those who face the unforgiving ocean.
When all the while the second is take away.
Who despite their own mistakes and those of others, hold fast and strive to win another day.
Here is to the men and women that live beyond their limits.
Who ride the wave of fortune´s pitch and toss.
Who face greatness and conquering it take some of that greatness upon themselves.
Here is to those faced, and won against, all doubt and fear.
And in that sort of blood, and sweat, and tears.
They who have found what it is to be alive.
what poem/quote is that? From whom is this?
No idea, and searching around in Google gives no clue whatsoever
I followed the race with great interest. I composed music, inspired by the commitment to the challenge. It's an amazing feat!
Absolutely amazing. Amazing.
Great vid!!!
Great video
I fuckin love this race
Top vid!
The Sea does not suffer Fools at all, and you can never beat her... the best you can do is get along.

Does anybody know the name of the helment that donfeng and Abu Dhabi used in the race?

Music is lights&motion - partical storm
Still a great video but nixing M83's "Outro" gutted the video quite a bit.
+Hays Formella Agreed!
Peace be with you; Merry Christmas, God bless you...in name of Jesus Christ, thanks praise glory to God, amen.
"here's to the ones who..." (trite)
Too many jump cuts, hard to focus on anything
Seriously? That's what you're complaining about?
excellent videos - stupid black and white portraits - completely spoiled the whole effect
