THE EPIC TRANSATLANTIC CHALLENGE LIVE IN THE MUSEO

The Ocean Race Atlantic 2026 is a high-speed, fully-crewed transatlantic sprint for the foiling IMOCA class, debuting in September 2026 as the first point-to-point race in our 50-year history.

In collaboration with our Impact Partner, 11th Hour Racing, the event is powered by a shared mission to advance ocean science and literacy, demonstrate sustainable event excellence, and champion equity and inclusion through the first-ever mandatory 50-50 gender-balanced crew. The elite racing teams will gather critical climate data as they race across the Atlantic, and the race serves as a global platform to inspire a more equitable and sustainable future for offshore sailing.
