#80 | The Mariner | Entering ’The Global Solo Challenge’ in 2023
Manage episode 348912764 series 2800225
Although we have had a few false starts with a round the world sailing project since the podcast began in early 2020- I think everyone will recognize that trying to make any kind of big plans during Covid has been basically impossible. We got close with the Ocean Globe Race entry in 2021, only to have the Race Committee cancel the race division we were entered into!
I am therefore, extremely excited to be able to report that I have entered the 'Global Solo Challenge' which will set off from La Coruna in Northern Spain at the end of 2023.
This is to be a 'pursuit' race which means the smaller boats (36ft!) set off first in September 2023 and then 2 months later in December, the quickest boats (of which we will be one) start racing.
Once all the boats are on the water the first to the finish line -across the entire fleet- is the winner! It's a new and unique format for a round the world race, and I for one cannot wait to be involved.
