We want to point out the following important information:
Lanzarote is the easternmost of the Canary Islands off the coast of Africa and part of the province of Las Palmas. The volcanic island has a stunning variety of landscapes including sandy beaches, rocky coastline, mountain ranges and even a desert.
Puerto Calero marina, positioned in a naturally protected enclave on Lanzarote’s sheltered south coast, has earned a reputation as one of the world’s top sailing destinations while retaining a characteristic village-type atmosphere. Well-regarded restaurants quietly line the waterfront and onsite services include a boatyard, shops, car and bike hire.
For more information on the marina, visit www.caleromarinas.com
There are several options for accommodation before the start of the race.
Here is a video of the final stage from The Hague to Genoa of the Ocean Race VO65 Sprint with a 3rd place overall to give you an impression:
Mission accomplished
An exhilarating leg of The Ocean Race VO65 Sprint unfolded with a thrilling game of patience. Amidst shifting winds, we experienced the rollercoaster of leading and trailing until a spectacular turnaround just 50 miles from the finish propelled us to secure 4th place in this stage and maintain our impressive 3rd position overall. The 2,200-mile journey from The Hague to Genoa took the team through formidable challenges—navigating the English Channel, braving the Bay of Biscay, conquering Gibraltar, and traversing the vast expanse of the Mediterranean. The triumphant homecoming was an emotional spectacle marked by tears of joy, cascading confetti, and radiant smiles.
With their sights set on the next Ocean Race, you can join the team and their boat Sisi.
