Competitors in the Mini Globe Race 2025 describe the race route and their boat setups dockside in Durban, South Africa.▶ 0:12 The race began in Antigua in February 2025, with most competitors completing a transatlantic qualifier from Portugal beforehand.▶ 1:01 The route runs Antigua–Panama (overland portage, no canal transit)–Marquesas–French Polynesia–Fiji–Australia–Mauritius–Durban, with Cape Town, St Helena, Recife, and Antigua still ahead.▶ 1:08 Of the original field, 11 competitors remain after four retired; all four are safe.▶ 1:25 All boats are Class Globe 580 monohulls, approximately 19 feet, hand-built replicas of John Guswell's Trekker, the boat used for the first solo circumnavigation.▶ 2:09 Hull number one is named Trekker in tribute.▶ 2:26 Race founder Don McIntyre also runs the Golden Globe Race and Ocean Globe Race.▶ 2:07 Jasmine Harrison, competing from England, describes learning to sail specifically for this race rather than building her boat.▶ 2:01 Swiss competitor Renaud Stitelmann details his boat Capucinet's no-winch deck layout: all sail handling uses cleats, purchase systems, and a 4:1 halyard tackle that can be doubled to 16:1 by combining both sides.▶ 4:18 Furling headsails and a cockpit-controlled reefing system eliminate the need to go forward.▶ 4:50 Water capacity is 100 liters mandatory; Stitelmann uses roughly 3 liters per day.▶ 7:43
