The first long leg of the 2017-18 edition – a 7,000nm Atlantic dive from Lisbon to Cape Town – begins on Sunday 5 November, and you can catch all the action live on our channels.
With a leg projected to take the fleet around 21 days to complete, a solid start is key – and the boats will battle for every inch as they leave the Portuguese city after a third consecutive stopover.
