Winning for China

Whilst working at OC Sport I had the exciting opportunity to design the book "Winning For China", which told the story of Dongfeng Race Team, their journey and last-minute victory in the Volvo Ocean Race 2017-2018. A 240 page coffee table style book that would be used for new sponsorship opportunities and client meetings, as well as being presented to each of the sailors and their families as a gift to remember their epic journey. 

The Volvo Ocean Race is recognised as one of the longest and hardest international sailing events. Seven teams in identical boats, racing across 45,000 nautical miles, split into ten legs which started in Alicante and ended in The Hague.  

Winning the event during an intense final few minutes streamed live across the globe, the purpose of the book was to convey the challenges faced by everyone involved in the team which culminated in a euphoric victory. With content in both English and Chinese, the book had to show the vast detail which goes into winning such an event, from information about race preparation, each leg of the race, results, personal challenges, stopover ports, in-port races and crew interviews.
