#370: Don McIntyre // Golden Globe Race 2022 Sets Sail


#370: Don McIntyre returns to the podcast to talk about the second edition of the Golden Globe Race – a retro, solo, non-stop around-the-world race. Departing on their start from France on Sept 4, 2022, the fleet is now approaching the Canary Islands. I caught up with Don while he was in Lanzarote awaiting the first media drop from the fleet. We talked about the differences between the GGR this year and the last time around in 2018, who his favorite skippers are, what some of our favorite boats are and what he expects of the second edition of these sailors going round the world.

Don McIntyre is a lifelong adventurer and sailor, and founder of the Golden Globe Race and the Ocean Globe Race departing in 2023. You can listen to our previous interview with him on episode #302.
