The 2011-12 Volvo Ocean Race, known for brutal conditions and dismastings, saw Franck Cammas and Groupama emerge as victors, making Cammas the second French skipper to win after 1985-86.

Despite challenges, Groupama clinched the title after an eventful journey. It marked the end of the Volvo Open 70 class era before the introduction of the VO65 in 2014-15.
