Volvo Ocean Race Trophy
There is no prize money for winning the Volvo Ocean Race – just the prestige of overcoming one of the greatest challenges in professional sport.The Trophy is a symbol of a great many sacrifices made by a great many sailors over the years, with each circle representing an edition of the race going back to 1973-74.

It is made from aluminium and silver plate, stands approximately 70 cm high and weighs around nine kgs. Each ring is engraved with the year, the course and the name of the winning boat and skipper of that race. A new circle will be added for every edition and the Trophy itself will ultimately become an engineering challenge – just like the Race itself.
