Volvo Ocean Race Cape Town Stopover

The race’s concept is simple: it’s a round-the-clock pursuit of competitive edge and the ultimate ocean marathon, pitting the sport’s best sailors against each other across the world’s toughest waters.

Racing one-design Volvo Ocean 65s, the world’s best professional ocean racers drive themselves to out-work and out-perform their competition around the globe.

After 12 editions and half a million miles, racing resumes again on October 22 when the teams set sail from our home port of Alicante to Lisbon, before heading to Cape Town.
