The Ocean Globe Race is the successor to the Whitbread Round the World Race and 2023 marks the 50th anniversary of the first Whitbread. Starting from Southampton in September the 7 month race will have three ports of call: Cape Town, South Africa, Auckland, New Zealand and Punta del Este, Uruguay. Tan Raffray will skipper the French entrant ,the Neptune, one of 14, representing 8 countries. One of his 10 person crew Bertrand, a seasoned sailor, has Parkinsons - an added challenge that will give inspiration to those living with the condition. Amy Bridge will be supporting the efforts of The Neptune, the 60 foot ocean going sailboat from California.
