These two areas are:

EXHIBITION AREA

The Exhibition Area will be the main area of the event where all sponsors will have their brand and presence assured.

In this area the event sponsors go through their promotional tents, stands, hospitality areas and will have the opportunity to engage with all stakeholders and welcome their own guests.

Also in this area visitors will find a large range of animations such as concerts, shows, games, quizzes, parallel competitions, among others. There will also be a series of exhibitions and fairs related to the event and the sea.

Similarly, the spectators will also have numerous restaurants and bars that will provide them with all the facilities so they can enjoy a full day during their visit to the event. The aim is to create a set of animations and performances, attracting audience and creating a unique event that will challenge, engage, absorb and accommodate all the public in a convenient and attractive manner.

TEAM AREA

Team Area will be the land basis of all crews in competition.

In it are included docking areas for boats, shipyard on dry areas where teams can perform repairs, sail maintenance, local support boats, among other teams needs.

All these areas are points of public interest and contact with the event, where it is possible and expected the visit by the mass audience, so that they can also make contact with the spectacle that is the parallel preparation of an ocean race and their boats.
