The 2023/24 Ocean Globe Race teams: White Shadow from Spain
Ocean Globe Race 2023/24

There are six months to go until the start of the first leg of the Ocean Globe Race, the 50th Anniversary of the Whitbread, and 18 teams have already confirmed. The vintage-style round-the-world race, without GPS and with paper charts and sextant, has a fleet of mostly Swan sailboats from the seventies. Dream of Blue Water will present the teams one by one, starting with the White Shadow Marítim Barcelona, the only Spanish sailboat participating. It is a Swan 57 designed by Sparkman & Stephen´s, number 4, which left the Nautor shipyard in 1978. There are 24 crew members, including 7 who will sail the entire world and the rest who will alternate in the different stages, with a team of 12 people on board.
