Ocean Race 2027
On 17 January 2027, Alicante will once again become the centre of the international sailing world: for the sixth consecutive time, The Ocean Race will start here, one of the most spectacular offshore races in the world. The first leg will take the IMOCA racing yachts over an incredible 14,000 nautical miles from Alicante to Auckland in New Zealand – the longest opening leg in the history of the race. From 8 to 17 January, the Ocean Live Park will transform the port of Alicante into a large sailing festival. Experience the start from the water: On board the classic sailing yacht LILLI, you will be up close as the Ocean Race fleet departs Alicante and begins its journey around the world.
