Since 1973, The Ocean Race has been the ultimate test for a team and an unparalleled human endeavor. For nearly 50 years, it has held a near-mythical hold on some of the world’s finest sailors and served as the proving ground for legends of our sport.

The Ocean Race is often described as the longest and most complicated professional sporting event in the world, the toughest team challenge in sailing and one of the three great events in the sport, alongside the Olympic Games and the America’s Cup.

However, to truly understand the race, it’s best to think of it in a way that the athletes who have competed in it will immediately recognize. Simply put, The Ocean Race is an obsession, and many of the world’s best sailors have dedicated years, even decades, of their lives to trying to win it.
