'Ordinary crew' wanted for global sailing race
Practical Boat Owner
|March 2023
The organiser of the 2023 Ocean Globe Race, Don McIntyre, is looking for crew to sail with him in the round-the-world race.
-
His ketch Explorer, a 1978 Nautors Swan 57, will be skippered by retired Navy commander Mark Sinclair (also known as Captain Coconut) of Golden Globe Race (GGR) fame.
The event will be the 50th-anniversary recreation of the first-ever crewed round-the-world race, the original 1973 Whitbread.
Crew places are now open for ordinary sailors to join the team. McIntyre will sail on leg three around Cape Horn.

Cruising Guide to The Netherlands & Belgium
This first edition of the Cruising Guide to The Netherlands & Belgium has long been missing from the range of pilotage books published by Imray in conjunction with the Royal Cruising Club Pilotage Foundation, especially by English-speaking sailors who struggle with the Dutch-only information available online, but after reading this guide, I can say the wait has been worth it and I expect it to become regarded as the authoritative companion for anyone cruising this area.
