'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.
'Ordinary crew' wanted for global sailing 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.
