2017 Volvo Ocean Race

according to http://www.volvooceanrace.com/en/ports/cardiff.html the race is coming to Cardiff. With an in port race too. Wonder if anyone has told them how shallow the bay is ( <2m) - OK for the foiling cats that came to Cardiff but not these deep fin jobbies.

You can see the race on you tube.

Anyway thats my hols booked for next year. Wonder if I can sell berths on my boat? Cant wait to call starboard on one of them. :D

They'll be staying in the dock, probably Roath basin but maybe hauling out over the stay as well, and racing in the channel for the inport race

I haven't seen any UK TV coverage but their live coverage on the website is good and is always sent over to their youtube so the best coverage will be watching stuff on there

Can't wait to see them in Cardiff!
