The Global Challenge (not to be confused with Global Challenge Award) is a round the world yacht race run by Challenge Business, the company started by Sir Chay Blyth in 1989. Held every four years, it takes a fleet of one-design (or matching) steel yachts, crewed by ordinary men and women who have paid to take part, round Cape Horn and through the Southern Ocean where winds can reach 70 knots. The fee for the next race in 2008 was £28,750. It is unique in that it takes the westabout route around the world against prevailing winds and currents - often referred to as the ‘wrong way’ route.
The route of the race covers a distance of some 29,000 nautical miles (54,000km). It has changed to accommodate different ports of call, but in 2004/5 started from Portsmouth (UK) and stopped at Buenos Aires (ARG), Wellington (NZ), Sydney (AUS), Cape Town (SA), Boston (USA) and La Rochelle (FRA) before returning again to Portsmouth.
The event claims the motto “The World’s Toughest Race” and is the ultimate sailing adventure for amateur sailors.
The official charity for the races is Save the Children and the race patron is HRH The Princess Royal.
After failing to secure a title sponsor, the company went into administration on 9 October 2006 placing the future of the race in doubt. The fleet was then put up for sale
