The 2017/18 Volvo Ocean Race was probably the most memorable yet because of its high and low points. What made the race unique was the drone video which allowed fans to see a view of the race boats in the Southern Ocean that had previously only been seen by the albatrosses.

This video shows a lot of very impressive footage that has not been seen previously, plus the sailor reactions to the race.

As they say - Not to be Missed!
