Having celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2016, the 2017 race departs Dubai, passes through the Strait of Hormuz into the Gulf of Oman and on to the finish at Muscat, Oman. No matter how you approach the Straits, they are always threatening, if not a little scary. However this race promises surprises for all: Previous competitors have reported seeing whales blowing, sharks, dolphins, turtles, smugglers, pirates, US Navy aircraft carriers and, on one occasion, an abandoned half-submerged fishing boat.
