Boat Designs of the GGR

The QUARTERDECK Sailing Podcast

Andy, Adam & Lee chat about the boat designs in the 2022 Golden Globe round-the-world race, which set off from France last week on Sept. 4. Though the rules are very strict in what boats qualify for the historic re-enactment type event, there remains quite a bit of variablity between them. We examine that variability, then talk about our favorite designs in the race, our favorite skippers, and who we think will win!

Make sure to listen to ON THE WIND next week - Andy interviews Don McIntyre, founder of the race, to get an update on the fleet as they approach the Canary Islands.
