If you ever wondered what The Ocean Race is about, this video from Soundings’ sister publication SAIL, explains just about everything you need to know.

SAIL’s managing editor Lydia Mullen shows the difference between the IMOCA 60s and VO65s, describes the race, explains the tactics the sailors used to get out of the Mediterranean Sea and into the Atlantic Ocean, and gives you the results from Leg One.

Whether you know nothing about sailing or whether you are an experienced sailor, this video might hook you on The Ocean Race, which Lydia will report on after every leg.
