The 1977–78 Whitbread Round the World Race was the second edition of the around-the-world sailing event Whitbread Round the World Race. On 27 August 1977, 15 boats started out from Portsmouth for the Whitbread Round the World Race under a moderate Northerly breeze and light patchy rain. Most of the second Whitbread Race was dominated by a tight race between Swan 65 King's Legend and Flyer, the latter eventually winning the race. All 15 boats finished the 26,780-nautical-mile (49,600 km) race. Great Britain II was winner on elapsed time for the second race in succession. This race was notable for the fact that Clare Francis became the first woman to skipper a Whitbread entry, the Swan 65 ADC Accutrac.

  • De Whitbread Round the World 1977-1978 was de tweede editie van de zeilwedstrijd om de wereld die tegenwoordig de "Volvo Ocean Race" heet. De race werd gewonnen door de Nederlandse zeilboot "Flyer" geleid door de schipper Conny van Rietschoten en ontworpen door . Ondanks de drie dodelijke slachtoffers tijdens de vorige race was "de Whitbread" een groot succes. De belangrijkste les uit de eerste race was dat overleven net zo belangrijk was als pure snelheid. Whitbread vernieuwde de sponsorovereenkomst en besloot dat de race elke vier jaar gehouden zou worden. (nl)
