Provisional Entrants

Provisional Entrant Status will be offered with priority to those yachts that fully meet the eligibility requirements.

Maximum Fleet Size

The maximum fleet size will be determined by the capacity of stopover ports, and the type and size of entrant vessels. Negotiations with stopover ports will be carried out during 2026. All Yachts with Provisional Entrant Status who then Enter will be accommodated in order of receipt of their paid Entry, until the maximum fleet size is reached (first come, first served).

Provisional Entrant Engagement

Provisional Entrants will be engaged in the organizing of the Race by being informed of logistical aspects as they are confirmed, and will be consulted on select aspects of race management. Provisional Entrants (prior to 1 July 2026) may provide input to the Race Director in the finalization of the Notice of Race.
