These are some recent shots of the PUMA Ocean Racing Team leaving Newport, Rhode Island for their final warm-up before the Volvo Ocean Race.

PUMA announced their entry into the sailing category in May 2007, when they officially entered into the Volvo Ocean Race 2008-2009 with the PUMA Ocean Racing Team. The around-the- world race will extend over 9 months and visit 11 port stopovers. In addition to their Volvo entry, PUMA is also the official supplier of the merchandise for the 2008-2009 Race and will carry a full line of performance and lifestyle apparel, footwear and accessories available at sailing specialty stores and select PUMA Concept stores.
