How does the international round-the-world regatta work?

"In order to ensure the smooth progress of the race, every fleet of Volvo Yacht Race is equipped with logistics support-shore support team, which consists of three business departments: operation support, technical support and business support, so as to ensure that the shore team can lend a helping hand at the first time no matter where the race sails on the earth, as long as it is necessary. The operation team needs to constantly face all kinds of unexpected situations that may occur at any time, just like the housekeeper of the racing team, arrange the transportation of all goods and containers during the competition, purchase insurance, purchase equipment and uniforms, go through customs clearance procedures, and arrange for team members to stop at various stops. And all aspects of the fleet need to be considered and handled in detail; Business support is responsible for developing local business partners in all ports of call to achieve win-win cooperation; Technical support is responsible for the maintenance of all components on the sailboat, ensuring that the sailboat can participate in the competition in the best condition every time it leaves the port. "
