We Are The Ocean Race
WTH?!? Why is everybody so desperate to go to Florida all of a sudden the worse and worse it gets there?!? Screw this, come back to Newport!
In one year, The Ocean Race will be back in Auckland!
DMG MORI Sailing Team, a powerhouse of the solo IMOCA circuit, is shifting gears. In a major announcement today, the team confirmed a bold n
Skipper Kojiro Shiraishi is not just bringing a new boat to the start line; he is bringing world-class experience. Recognising that the high-intensity, watch-system life of The Ocean Race demands a different skillset than solo sailing, the team has bolstered its ranks with two of the sport’s most respected figures.
To accelerate their performance curve, the team has secured the expertise of Nicolas Lunven and Sam Davies - two sailors who know exactly what it takes to push an IMOCA to its limit with a full crew.
One year until the 2027 Ocean Race (because the IMOCA class stole October starts from us) and we still don’t know if there’ll be a Newport stopover again (but who can blame them looking at the US these days?)
The Ocean Race: For Those Who Dare To Go Further

The Ocean Race confirms Itajaí, in Santa Catarina state, in Brazil will once again host the world's most iconic around-the-world yacht race
The Ocean Race confirms Itajaí, in Santa Catarina state, in Brazil will once again host the world's most iconic around-the-world yacht race in April, 2027 and again in 2031, in a two-edition hosting partnership.
Known for its enthusiastic fans who welcome the sailors and teams after weeks of racing through the challenging conditions of the Southern Ocean, Itajaí is always a welcome stop on the race calendar. This will mark the fifth time the race has been in Itajaí and the 11th visit to Brazilian shores.
Itajaí first joined the global sailing stage in the 2011-12 edition of The Ocean Race, becoming the race's sole South American stopover that year. The city welcomed the fleet again in 2014-15 and 2017-18, and most recently hosted the 2022-23 edition, making 2027 its fifth consecutive appearance on the race route.
Together, these stopovers have attracted over one-million race fans, confirming Itajaí as a premiere destination for The Ocean Race and its teams, sailors and stakeholders.
