The Ocean Race, a privately owned company headquartered in Spain, was founded in 1973 and operates with approximately 130 employees. The company specializes in water sports, managing and overseeing the global sailing event known as The Ocean Race, a competition that takes place every few years and covers multiple legs around the world.
On September 26, 2026, The Ocean Race confirmed Alicante as the start port for its 15th edition, with the around-the-world race scheduled to begin in January 2027 and preparations actively progressing. Previously, on September 15, La Generalitat presented sponsorship options, including tax deductions, to the business community to attract companies to the 2027 regatta, recognized as an event of exceptional public interest. Earlier, on September 10, Paul Meilhat’s United by the Ocean (FRA) won the inaugural edition of The Ocean Race Atlantic, completing the 3300-nautical mile transatlantic course in Lorient, France. Six IMOCA teams had commenced the race on September 2 from a virtual start line, a strategy implemented to reduce the risk of encounters with marine mammals. During this race, on September 7, Francesca Clapcich, skipper of 11th Hour Racing, participated in the first-ever live call with United Nations Secretary-General's Special Envoy for the Ocean Peter Thomson while racing. The six international IMOCA crews departed New York Harbor on September 2 after a ceremonial start in front of the Statue of Liberty, heading for an offshore start to the inaugural edition of The Ocean Race Atlantic.
