Barcelona World Race 2014

This will be the third edition of this round-the-world yacht race – for two-person crews – that begins and ends in Barcelona on New Year’s Eve. It is the first ever two-handed, non-stop round-the-world regatta and is set to start on 31 December 2014 from opposite Hotel W in the Port of Barcelona. The competing boats are expected back in the port in March 2015 after sailing some 25,000 nautical miles (around 46,300 kilometres).
