Ocean Globe Race

The Ocean Globe Race (OGR) is a fully crewed retro race in the spirit of the 1973 Whitbread Round the World Race. The Auckland stopover (and half-way mark) will take place from 14 December – 14 January.

Auckland has always been part of the Whitbread since the second edition in 1977, in which Pen Duick VI, ADC Accutrac (now Translated9) and Neptune, all entrants of the OGR 2023, took part.

This halfway stopover during the southern summer festive season of Christmas/New Year becomes a family holiday for most, before the serious business of preparing for a transit of Cape Horn, a dream for many of the crews.
