Since 1973, The Ocean Race (recently known as the Volvo Ocean Race) has been the toughest test of a team in sport.
The Ocean Race is the world’s toughest sailing event, where the elite of the sailing profession battle it out on the most treacherous oceans. It is a nine-month marathon on the seas, passing through four oceans and five continents.

The race will be raced in two dynamic classes of boats: the high-performance, foiling, IMOCA 60 class and the one-design VO65 class
The race will as usual have it’s stop over in Cape Town with some in-harbour races taking place. Watch this space.
