The Race Around aims to fill the void for those that have finished the Mini Transat and the Route du Rhum and perhaps have the following Vendée Globe cycle in their sights
The organisers of The Race Around, Class 40’s official round-the-world race, have announced the establishment of a solo category running alongside the already announced double-handed fleet.
In a move that will spark memories of the highly successful ‘BOC Challenge’ and ‘Around Alone’ era, the organisers have also taken the opportunity to increase the number of entries from 25 to 35, inclusive of five wild cards.
The race is planned for 2023 starting from France.
