Mini Globe Race Fleet Reaches Mossel Bay After 276 Days at Sea

The Mini Globe Race fleet has now made landfall in Mossel Bay, South Africa, marking an incredible milestone after 276 days alone at sea. These skippers are circling the planet in home-built plywood yachts, proving once again that ocean adventure doesn’t require carbon foils, high-tech composites, or million-dollar budgets — just determination, seamanship, and a whole lot of grit.

From the Atlantic trades to the vast swells of the Pacific, the fleet has pushed through some of the toughest waters on the planet. Their next destination is Cape Town, where they’ll prepare for the long, demanding passage across the South Atlantic.

For anyone dreaming of bluewater voyaging on a small boat, the Mini Globe Race remains one of the purest examples of what’s possible with courage, creativity, and a simple but capable yacht.
