Around the world in a 34ft boat
Sir Robin Knox-Johnston is supporting a former Clipper Race crew member in his quest to sail solo and unassisted around the world in the Global Solo Challenge. Welsh sailor Dafydd Hughes was the second skipper to pay the €7,500 entrance fee for the race, which starts from A Coruña in Spain in September 2023.
The event is a chance for small 34ft boats to fairly race against 55ft yachts. Vessels will be grouped by performance characteristics before setting off in staggered departures
