The 70-foot Open Yacht PUMA Mar Mostro will dock at the Port of Miami to allow VIPs a sneak peek inside one of the contenders in the upcoming 2011-2012 Volvo Ocean Race, a 31,250 nautical-mile competition that will span the globe. The Volvo Ocean Race is an extreme professional sailing event that tests the ability and emotional dedication of a select few from around the world. The 2011-2012 edition of the race will kick-off this October in Alicante, Spain. In anticipation of the arrival of the boats as they sail from Itajai, Brazil, to Miami on Leg 6 of the race, the Miami stopover team has started to shape the 14-day festival - Volvo Ocean Race Miami 'Beyond Water'.
