route map
The image below shows the approximate route that the race will follow. This image is taken from the 07-08 race - I do not yet have one available for the 09-10 race. We do know the way though! The main differences are the start point (Hull on the east coast of the UK, rather than Liverpool on the west coast); and the non-stop Pacific crossing (the Hawaii stopover has been removed).
The stopovers, in the order we will be arriving, are:
Hull (race start and finish)
La Rochelle, France
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Capetown, South Africa
Fremantle, Australia
Singapore
Qingdao, China
California, USA (Port to be confirmed)
Panama
Port Antonio, Jamaica
New York, USA
Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada
Kinsale, Cork, Ireland
Hull, UK - Finish July 17th 2010.
