Barcelona World Race

The Barcelona World Race is a prestigious sailing competition that takes place every four years, featuring teams of two sailors who race non-stop around the globe. Starting and finishing in Barcelona, Spain, the race covers approximately 21,600 nautical miles and tests the limits of endurance, navigation skills, and teamwork. Participants sail on 60-foot yachts, known as IMOCA 60s, designed for high-speed ocean racing. The event showcases professional sailing talent and promotes environmental awareness, as crews often conduct research and share findings about ocean health during their journey.
