As the official timing partner of the World Round the World Yacht Race, Athens Watch is responsible for providing the countdown to the event’s start and the official timing of the entire stage. At the same time, Athens Watch also offers full support for the 24-hour speed record challenge, in which the fleet with the most extended cumulative voyage in 24 hours will be awarded as the winning team.

During the voyage of more than 60,000 kilometers, the participating fleets will cross uninhabited waters on the earth, and only a few scientific research fleets have been explored in depth. Taking advantage of this scarce opportunity, the fleet will collect critical data on two significant factors endangering ocean health-climate change and plastic pollution to supplement the lack of information in this field. This will be the most important volume of data collected through sporting events so far, and the World Round, the World Regatta, is honored to play an essential role in the in-depth exploration of the ocean world by humans.
