Auckland, the ‘City of Sails’, is one of the Volvo Ocean Race’s most storied stopovers
The city was first featured in the second edition of the race back in 1977-78 and has only been missing from two editions since then. Volvo Ocean Race icons such as Sir Peter Blake, Grant Dalton and Mike Sanderson are still legends around these parts – mention their names, and you’ll see for yourself the high regard in which the Kiwi public holds this race and its heritage.
