The Sail Racing Magazine Show – Justin Chisholm talks to Richard Mason of Volvo Ocean Race

Richard Mason, Operations Director at Volvo Ocean Race, has a unique perspective on the VOR, having been a competitor and onshore manager before being appointed to his current position. He spoke to Justin Chisholm about the new route, the controversial short first leg from Alicante to Lisbon and plans to make this race more interactive and immersive for fans than ever before. Sailing junkies lock your doors and switch off your phones – this is a GREAT listen. Thanks to Ainhoa Sanchez / Volvo Ocean Race for the terrific profile photograph of Richard Mason.
