It will be the stage of the most legendary ends... Cape of Good Hope, Cape Leeuwin and Cape Horn

The next edition of The Ocean Race will feature the longest stage in the South Ocean in the 50 years of the event's history, an incredible 12,750 nautical miles marathon between Cape Town and the Brazilian town of Itajai.

The route of the 14th edition of the race has been adapted to the logistical realities of a return to the world in the surroundings of the Pandemia and will have its departure from Alicante in late December or early January, still to be confirmed the final date.

From there, the IMOCA and VO65 fleets will leave the Mediterranean Sea towards Cape Verde, visiting this African nation for the first time, before heading towards one of the fixed scales of the race, Cape Town... then a return to the roots of the race, with a brutal stage in the South Ocean, of more than 30 days of competition, to Itajai, the headquarters of the last three scales that has made the route of the race in South America.

It will be the longest stage in the history of The Ocean Race since the first edition of the world round with full crew in 1973 and will pass through the three great ends: Cape of Good Hope, Cape Leeuwin and Cape Horn, successively and without scales, for the first time in history.
