The 15th edition of the race will set sail from Alicante, Spain, in January 2027.

Since 1973, The Ocean Race has been the ultimate crewed race and an unparalleled human adventure. For 50 years, it has maintained an almost mythical hold over some of the greatest sailors and has been the playground of legends in our sport.

The 2027 Ocean Race will depart in January from its home port of Alicante, Spain, and will take the fleet of foiling IMOCA boats, these high-tech flying monohulls, out of the Mediterranean Sea, along the Atlantic, and into the Southern Ocean, before passing Cape Horn and returning to Europe via the Americas.

Between the start in Alicante and the race finish in AMAALA, the stops will complete the course. The dates for all these stopover cities and the finish will be confirmed once the full itinerary is finalized.
