Ocean Globe Race 2023: Start Highlights

The Ocean Globe Race 2023 has begun! History was made on the 10 September as the cannons of the Royal Yacht Squadron, Cowes, signalled the start of the inaugural McIntyre Ocean Globe, mirroring the original 1973 Whitbread Round the World Race. Hundreds of spectator boats witnessed the stunning scenes as the 14 iconic yachts crossed the start line en route to Cape Town. With seven former Whitbread yachts amongst the fleet, the OGR has its roots firmly in sailing history, but is also now looking to the future for sailors chasing adventure and a life less ordinary. 🎥 @robhavill Aerial shots: Gary Cross Follow the race at:
