The Ocean Race Europe – a new, three-stage offshore sailing race for professional teams racing in two classes of high-performance ocean-going yachts – VO65s and IMOCA 60s – starts from Lorient, France on Saturday May 29 at 13.45 CEST.
This inaugural edition of the race will finish in Genova, Italy on June 19, and includes stopovers in Cascais, Portugal and Alicante, Spain along the way.
In addition to the equally scored offshore legs, at each of the stopovers in Cascais and Genova the teams will also take part in a shorter coastal day race, with bonus points being awarded to the first three finishers.
