Travis Rice has become quite the sailor over the past decade cruising the world in his prized ocean going catamaran Falcor so it’s no big surprise he has gotten tight with some elite sailors including the Dongfeng Race Team who are competing in the Volvo Ocean Race. Travis gave them the basics on his sport of choice on a dry slope in Cardiff, Wales. Here’s a bit on the Volvo Ocean Race:
“The Volvo Ocean Race is considered one of the toughest sporting events in the world. A round the world sailing race that takes sailors to the most dangerous and remote conditions on earth, the 2017-18 edition will take the 7 teams 45,000 nautical miles around the world, across four oceans, touching six continents and 12 landmark Host Cities.”
“VOLVO OCEAN RACE!! If you don’t know…. Well then happy to educate you a bit more about it.! Spending the week with @dongfengraceteam here in Cardiff, Wales for the kick off to Leg 10 which is live today at 10.30 am East Coast/3.30 pm London on the Volvo Ocean Race App.. Been a fan of this race for some time and stoked to get to spend some time with Skipper Charles Caudrelier, his team and all the sailors involved in this Herculean event!”
