Will there be an online competition as well for the fans like there was in the '08-09'?

@robm425 yes, we will have an online game as we did last race. We did a story on the announcement on the race website at the end of September but I can't seem to post the link here, sorry.

Embora o porto de Itajaí esteja entre as paradas da Volvo Ocean Race e o barco vencedor da última edição ter sido capitaneado pelo Torben Grael, o evento está sendo pouco divulgado no Brasil. Lamentável!
