Qué cubre este vídeo

The 2018 Golden Globe Race requires entrants to circumnavigate the globe solo, non-stop, and unassisted, using only 1960s-era technology.5:09 Participants are prohibited from using modern GPS, autopilots, or satellite communications, relying instead on celestial navigation and wind-vane self-steering systems.9:03 The route begins in the Northern Hemisphere, proceeds south through the Atlantic, crosses the Indian Ocean, passes Hobart, Tasmania, and rounds Cape Horn before returning north.7:38 Entrants may stop once to remain in the race under the Chichester class or depart late under the Carrozzo class.33:53 The event emphasizes individual seamanship over commercial sponsorship, with many sailors managing limited budgets and performing complex repairs at sea, including fixing wind-vane gear and managing rig failures in heavy Southern Ocean conditions.45:00 The race highlights the physical and psychological toll of long-term isolation, the necessity of manual steering during equipment failure, and the inherent risks of navigating the Southern Ocean during winter.21:19
