Net sales for the first quarter declined 25% to SEK 58.3 billion, primarily as a result of the weak order intake in late 2012. Learn more >>

    2013 är inte vilket år som helst – det är 40-årsjubileet för världens största jordenruntkappsegling.

    Om du har en bild som säger något om passionen, stoltheten och engagemanget hos de som gjort Volvo Ocean Race till vad det är idag tar vi gärna emot den som ett bidrag till fototävlingen.
