Cape 2 Rio is the Southern Hemisphere’s premium sailing event – a trans-Atlantic crossing from Cape Town to Rio de Janeiro.

They crossed the finish yesterday, making history by completing the race in just under 8 days.

In partnership with WWF SA, the Love Water team has also been sharing stories about plastic pollution during their voyage.
