The Ocean Race, a crewed round the world race, has seven stopovers in all, over six months. A race start in Alicante last Sunday followed by seven stopovers and hence eight episodes filming behind the scenes of each IMOCA team, through the joys and disappointments, the work and the rest.

This documentary series is produced by IMOCA in collaboration with Ouest-France and filmed by polaRYSE. It contains exciting new footage with episode one focusing on the last week in Spain.

We are in the midst of the first historic edition of The Ocean Race open to IMOCAs. A crewed round the world race, on flying foilers – where life is often unbearable… – helmed in often unprecedented conditions. Spanning over 32,000 miles, the course takes the crews into all kinds of weather around the globe with an extreme leg of 12,750 miles (23,000 km) in the Deep South, between South Africa and Brazil!

It features an incredible cast of sailors, stars from the ex-Volvo Ocean Race and French offshore racing, gathered together in one fantastic adventure. Crews are mixed with on-board reporters to capture the moment. A marathon at the pace of a sprint for the technical and logistics teams, as well as for the families.
