No known details here... but one might think it’s a Danish or American boat, judging from the flags on the stearn. 

The Volvo Ocean Race?? Looks crazy. They better wear a harness.

Volvo Cars today reveals a special version of its award-winning V90 Cross Country all-road wagon to celebrate the start of the 2017/18 Volvo Ocean Race. The 2018 V90 Cross Country Ocean Race edition will be at US retailers in early spring 2018 with a starting price of $60,500. Buyers of the car will contribute directly to helping understand the health of our oceans. To support the Volvo Ocean Race’s Science Program around ocean plastics, the company will donate EUR 100 (approximately $116 USD) for each of the first 3,000 V90 Cross Country Volvo Ocean Race cars it plans to build. The resulting total donation of EUR 300,000 (approximately $348,000 USD) underlines Volvo Cars’ long-standing commitment to environmental care. The Volvo Ocean Race Science Program equips boats in this year’s race with a variety of sensors that will capture data from some of the remotest parts of the world’s oceans. This includes temperatures, barometric pressure, currents and wind speed, which will help contribute to more accurate weather forecasts and climate models used by scientists globally. Furthermore, the boats will measure levels of salinity, dissolved CO2 and algae in the sea water around them. Combined with other data on microplastics, these measurements will help create a more complete picture of the scale of plastic pollution and its impact on ocean life. The Program’s science partners include NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. “We’re proud to support the Volvo Ocean Race’s Science Program which will help improve our understanding of the health of the oceans – our greatest natural resource,” said Stuart Templar, Director of Sustainability at Volvo Cars. “As a company, we work to minimize our impact on the world around us, so this project’s innovative approach to tackling a major environmental problem was a great fit for us - not least as we head towards an electric future.” The car itself will help tackle the problem of marine pollution, as the carpets inlays are made from Econyl, a fabric made from 100% recycled nylon, including abandoned fishing nets reclaimed from the seabed.
