Haslar Marina is the new Head Quarters for the Global Ocean Race

With the Global Ocean Race 2014-15 starting and finishing in the Solent - the traditional home of round-the-world racing - the natural Head Quarters for the Race Organisation is Haslar Marina in Gosport, Portsmouth. The GOR’s offices are within metres of Haslar’s sheltered, 600-berth marina which will also form the base for the event’s corporate and sponsor sailing on Class40s throughout 2013 until the start of the race on September 21st 2014.

Already a base for inshore and offshore racing teams, Haslar Marina’s location close to the mouth of Portsmouth Harbour permits quick access to the Solent for the GOR’s teams to train and boat test in the run-up to the start of the 30,000-mile circumnavigation in 2014. “Haslar Marina is at the hub of South Coast sailing and the marine services in the area are world class,” says Josh Hall, Race Director of the GOR. “I’m certain that many of our European entries will choose Gosport and Haslar Marina as a base prior to the start in September next year and our international teams will find the practical and social attractions of the location and the proximity of the GOR’s start in Southampton a strong incentive to base here,” he adds.

“The management and staff at Haslar Marina have immense experience in dealing with racing yachts and have a deep understanding of the needs and requirements of the skippers and crews,” says Hall. “It’s a great pleasure to welcome Richard Reddyhoff, Ben Lippiett and their team at Haslar Marina as Race Partners in the GOR.”

“We are delighted to welcome Global Ocean Race to Haslar Marina,” says Ben Lippiett, Marina Manager. “This confirms our belief that we are attracting top quality tenants not only to our marina, but to Gosport as a whole. Gosport is increasingly being viewed as the home of ocean racing, with a choice of quality deep water marinas, easy access to the Solent and convenient transport links to London,” Lippiett continues. “Together with Alex Thomson Racing on site and Brian Thompson running a short-handed sailing academy out of Haslar, we are quickly becoming recognised as the location of choice for serious ocean racing.”

Punta del Este, Uruguay, confirmed as the GOR’s South American stopover

Punta del Este, Uruguay, is confirmed as the South American stopover for the Global Ocean Race 2014-15. Following one month of high-octane racing across the high latitudes of the Pacific Ocean and rounding Cape Horn, Punta del Este is the perfect destination to celebrate and recover from the gruelling conditions of the GOR’s Leg 3. Known as the Saint Tropez of South America, Punta del Este, will be at the height of its summer season when the GOR fleet arrives for a two week long stopover.

In the 80’s and 90’s Punta del Este - and the town’s famous Yacht Club Punta del Este - hosted The Whitbread Round the World Race and The BOC singlehanded race. This will be the second visit to Uruguay by the GOR, with the 2011-12 edition of the race bringing modern round the world racing back to Punta del Este.

For the GOR teams, their families, friends and sponsors, Punta del Este supplies exotic nightlife and festivals balanced with calm, golden beaches along the River Plate coast and impressive surfing beaches along the Atlantic coast. “As a Yacht Club and City with a rich heritage in ocean-racing, the welcome our fleet received here during the GOR 2011-12 was warm, embracing and enthusiastic so we are delighted to able to build on this relationship for the GOR 2014-15,” says Josh Hall, Race Director of the GOR. “We shall once again be working closely with the Yacht Club Punta del Este, the Uruguayan Ministry of Tourism and the City of Maldonado to make the stopover a memorable and valuable one for everyone involved,” he adds.

Commodore of the Yacht Club Punta del Este, Alejandro Foglia, said: “We are an extremely active yacht club with an international membership and we are very proud to assist again with the hosting of this remarkable race. This is a round the world race that is highly accessible for sailors racing very reliable, safe yachts and we totally agree with these principles. We look forward to welcoming the GOR sailors to our shores, our city and our Yacht Club,” he commented.

The GOR starts from the PSP Southampton Boat Show on Sunday 21st September 2014 and finishes in Gunwharf Quays Portsmouth in early May 2015 with the racing fleet making stopovers in Cape Town, South Africa; Punta del Este, Uruguay and Charleston, USA, before returning to Europe. The Australasian GOR stopover will be confirmed next week.
