Why the Ocean Globe Race
The Ocean Globe Race makes it possible to sail around the world!
The decision to enter was based on the belief that sailing around the world is a logical progression of everything we have done the last couple of years.
In part, we were inspired by the 2018 Golden Globe Race, in which a number of entrants with modest budgets did exceptionally well. The Ocean Globe Race is the most affordable round-the-world yacht race currently in existence because the retro concept prohibits expensive new boats and equipment. In other words, it makes it possible for more people to circumnavigate by racing.
