Golden Globe Race

For those who fondly remember the time when there was no GPS, watermakers etc.

The Golden Globe RTW Race must be competed in boats similar to the one Knox Johnson single-handed RTWed

The final 3 who are still in the race are about 1000nm from the finish. We might have a woman winner this year.

250 days or so alone at sea - my hat is off to all

Our books have gotten 5 star reviews on Amazon. Several readers have written "I never thought I would go on a circumnavigation, but when I read these books, I was right there in the cockpit with Vinni and Carsten"

Which is pretty awesome since she is the only woman in the race..........

Also after 20,000 plus miles of sailing the 1st and 2nd place boats are about 11 miles apart (DTF)
