The Golden Globe Race
TheGolden Globe Race The Golden Globe Race is arguably the toughest and purest ocean adventure that exists today.
No crew, no stops, and no outside assistance - just one person aboard a small (under 11 meters), pre-1988 sailing yacht, facing the endless oceans alone.
The race was first born in 1968at a time when the world was still hungry for real heroes.
That same year, humans landed on the moon, yet no one had ever sailed alone around the world, non-stop, without assistance.
Nine sailors set out to achieve that goal. Only one of them, Robin Knox–Johnstonsucceeded after 312 days at sea.
He became “Sir Robin Knox-Johnston,” and his journey became a maritime legend.
Nearly fifty years later, 2018the race was revived under the same spirit and the same strict rules: no modern technology, no GPS, no satellite weather data..
A return to an era when the sea was still full of mystery, and every day demanded resilience, belief, and skilled navigators with paper charts, a compass, and a sextant.
זה מסע שמחזיר את השייטים לעידן שבו הים היה אפוף מסתורין, וכל יום היה מבחן של כוח רצון, אמונה ויכולת.
The Golden Globe is not just a competition. Its pure adventure - a personal confrontation with the sea, the storms, and above all, with yourself.
And anyone who reaches the finish line, no matter how long it takes, has already won.
The Route
