The 2017-18 Volvo Ocean Race is pushing the boundaries not only in terms of racing conditions and locations but in the delivery of safety services and creating an 'on-board' digital experience. For the first time, sailors will be able to post on social media during every leg. More content than ever before will be able to be beamed ashore using the Inmarsat satellite network. In addition to Inmarsat C safety services and tracking devices, each of the Volvo Ocean 65 boats will also carry an IsatPhone 2 satellite phone in their life raft packs.
