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 yet again that adventure doesn’t need carbon foils or million-dollar budgets — just determination, seamanship and a whole lot of grit.
From the Atlantic trades to the swells of the Pacific Ocean, the fleet has pushed through some of the toughest waters on Earth. Their next stop is Cape Town, where they’ll prepare for the long passage across the South Atlantic.
For anyone dreaming of ocean adventure on a small boat, this race continues to be one of the purest examples of what’s possible.
