FAQs
(frequently asked questions) such as where the boats will be, times of
events, where to watch the race, etc.
Important Information includes driving directions, media info, events, hospitality, boating, docking policy, city information, and education information.
There
are essentially 4 venues for the Chesapeake stopover of the Race:
Baltimore:
The finish of Leg 6 of the Volvo Ocean Race will take place at Ft. McHenry
(same as the 1997-98 race). The 4th annual Baltimore Waterfront Festival
will be held throughout the Inner Harbor in conjunction with the Race
and is where the boats will be docked until they move to Annapolis. The
Festival was inaugurated during the 1998 Race and attracted 400,000 people
in 1998 and continues to be attended by 300,000 each year.
Annapolis: The sailing capital of the United States, Annapolis will welcome the Race fleet at City Dock adjacent to the U.S. Naval Academy prior to the start of Leg 7. 60,000 people visited the 1998 Race Village in Annapolis.
Sandy Point: A State Park operated by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, Sandy Point will be the site of a two day festival celebrating the Race, particularly the Restart. The one-day 1998 event attracted 30,000 people. The Park is at the foot of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge with a view of the starting area.
Chesapeake Bay Bridge: The Restart of the Race will take place 1 nautical mile north of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge (same as the 1997-98 Race). The spectator fleet in 1998 was 6,000 boats. The Annual Bay Bridge walk, in which 50,000 walkers participate, will coincide with the Restart. (safety information for restart - .pdf file)

Frequently
Asked Questions
1.

to the arrival pontoon at the end of the Constellation Pier for a short
ceremony.

information further down in this document.

When will the boats finish?
a. This is highly unpredicatable and weather dependant. The boats will
leave Miami on April 14. Depending on wind strength and direction, we
expect them to arrive in Baltimore on Wednesday at the earliest and Thursday
at the latest. Check our website for updates as the fleet progresses up
the coast. Please come down to the Inner Harbor for the arrival ceremony
at any time/ day or night.

How
about car rentals?

11.
Where is the best place to view the Parade of Sail?
a. The Parade of Sail will start in
Baltimore's Inner Harbor at 12:00. The boats will keep a leisurely pace
from Baltimore to Annapolis, arriving in time for the 5:00 Welcome Reception
at the City Dock in Annapolis.
b. If you
are planning to view the Parade of Sail from the land, Baltimore's
Inner Harbor at noon and Annapolis City Docks at 5:00 are clearly your
best
options. Optional viewing locations would be the Ft. McHenry National
Monument (between 12:30 - 1:30) or Tide Point - 1040 Hull Street Baltimore,
MD - http://www.tide-point.com.
We will not be able to designate a specific time of passage for the fleet
from Ft. McHenry to Annapolis because the boats will be sailing independently
and the wind direction and strength will be a factor that we have no control
over.
