Friday’s In-Port Race in Cape Town is scheduled to start in perfect racing conditions at 2.15pm local time (1215 UTC).
And the crew lists have now been published for the Cape Town In-Port Race presented by V&A Waterfront, which is the second event in the In-Port Race series for The Ocean Race 2022-23.
It follows the opener in January in Alicante, Spain where Team Malizia won the race, with 11th Hour Racing Team and Biotherm taking the other podium positions.
In addition to being a competition in its own right, the In-Port Race series also serves as the tie-breaking mechanism on the overall race leaderboard.
The forecast for the Cape Town In-Port Race presented by V&A Waterfront on Friday (24 February) is for 15-knot southeasterlies, with stronger gusts possible — perfect racing conditions for the course in Table Bay.
If you’re lucky enough to be in Cape Town, come down to Ocean Live Park at the V&A Waterfront and head out on the breakwater for a great in-person view, or follow the live viewing at the V&A Amphitheatre.
In Ireland, Friday’s In-Port Race will be available for broadcast exclusively on Eurosport 1 or 2 beginning at 1130 UTC, and live or on demand on the Eurosport App or discovery+ player.
