Stage 6: London Business School's Tropical Trade Winds takes Race Crew from Airlie Beach, Australia to Subic Bay, Philippines. This is a lively offshore and coastal leg where speed, precision and teamwork combine. After leaving the Whitsundays behind, teams will power north under the tropical trades, threading their way through island‑strewn seas and shifting winds.

As the fleet approaches the Philippines, the stage shifts gear: tighter navigation, local squalls and a sprint finish into Subic Bay await. It’s a stage that rewards tactical agility as much as pace, before crews arrive in the palm‑lined harbour of Subic Bay and enjoy the welcome.
