A new double-handed around the world race, the Globe40, has started from the Moroccan city of Tangier. Seven double-handed Class40 teams set off on a 30,000-mile multi-stage around the world race on Sunday, 26 June, on the first round the world race to depart from Africa.
Created especially for the Class40, the Globe40 entry list features more highly experienced amateurs than heavily sponsored professional teams. It is run over eight legs with the option for the two-man teams to switch out crew at several points in the race, making it easier for competitors to manage home life without the commitment of being offshore for nine months.
All the crews include at least one amateur and most are only crewed by non-professionals, albeit non-professionals with impressive amounts of bluewater and offshore racing experience.
