the ‘Everest of Sailing’:

Sanya, Auckland, around
Cape Horn to Itajaí,
Miami, Lisbon, and
Lorient.
Each of the entries has a
sailing team of 11
professional crew and the
race requires their utmost
skills, physical endurance
and competitive spirit as
they race day and night for
more than 20 days at a
time on some of the legs.
They will each take on
different jobs onboard the
boat and on top of these
sailing roles, there will be
two sailors that have had
medical training, as well
as a sailmaker, an
engineer and a dedicated
media crew member.
During the race the crews
will experience life at the
extreme: no fresh food is
taken onboard so they live
off freeze dried fare, they
will experience
temperature variations
from -5 to +40 degrees
Celsius and will only take
one change of clothes.
They will trust their lives
to the boat and the skipper
and experience hunger
and sleep deprivation.
