The Cape Town In-Port Race presented by V&A Waterfront is the second event in the In-Port Race series for The Ocean Race 2022-23.

It follows the opener in January in Alicante, Spain where Team Malizia won the race, with 11th Hour Racing Team and Biotherm taking the other podium positions.

In addition to being a competition in its own right, the In-Port Race series also serves as the tie-breaking mechanism on the overall race leaderboard.

The forecast for Friday's Cape Town In-Port Race presented by V&A Waterfront is for 15 knot southeasterlies, with stronger gusts possible - perfect racing conditions for the course in Table Bay.

How to follow - where to watch

If you're lucky enough to be in Cape Town, come down to Ocean Live Park at the V&A Waterfront and head out on the breakwater for a great, in person view, or follow the live viewing at the V&A Amphitheatre.

In most of Europe and many parts of Asia, Friday's In-Port Race will be available for broadcast exclusively on Eurosport 1 or 2 beginning at 1130 UTC / 1230 CET, and live or on demand on the Eurosport App or discovery+ player (subscribe via www.eurosport.com or www.discoveryplus.com or see detailed country information below).
