The Corinthian spirit

In a sailing world that is growing more and more professional, it’s great to follow the progress of the Global Ocean Challenge. They have the true Corinthian spirit and will make for a great spring board for those sailors that want to take the dive in to the world where sailing is a full time job. But also for those adventures spirits that wants to get the kick that everyday life can’t provide.

Three teams have signed for the amateur round the world race, Josh and Brian (founders of the race) has put together a sponsor pack to help the sailors in pursuit of corporate money and the event it self are close to announcing their own title sponsor. The regatta is now open for entries.

- We sent an email to the 89 skippers who have contacted us to express interest in racing around the world in the Global Ocean Challenge, and not surprisingly there was an immediate response, says Race Director Josh Hall in a press release.

- Up until this point we have resisted taking entry fees. We wanted the race to be on a firm financial footing before we accepted anyone’s money, but we are very close to a formal announcement on Title Sponsorship and in order to give potential competitors as much time as possible to prepare, we decided to start accepting entries.
