S2 E70: How do people sail solo in a race to circumnavigate the globe (as part of the Golden Globe Race)
Leave a reviewThere are sailors who boldly sail into the Southern Ocean and brave the winds and the waves. They do it all by themselves. This is part of a race called the Golden Globe Race (GGR), which tests the mettle of the best of sailors. In its most recent edition, Kirsten Neuschafer from South Africa became the first woman to win (or even complete) the race. Closely behind her was Abhilash Tomy (a former naval officer from India). Abhilash was also the first Indian to complete the race. The persistence, resilience and courage displayed by the participants of GGR is quite something!
