Golden Globe Race

An around the world race

Sailors will not be able to use GPS, mobile phones, autopilots nor any other electronic navigation equipment. Only sextants and cartographic maps.

This race was born in 1968 and together with its celebration in 2018 after 50 years, only 6 people in the whole world have managed to complete a circumnavigation in such conditions. To participate in this regatta, the boat must have some basic characteristics: it must be a sailing boat designed before 1989, with a maximum length of 36 feet, an offset keel with the rudder on the keel trailing edge and with a minimum design displacement of 6,200kg.
