in 1968 the first ever around the world

solar yacht race began nine men started

and only one finish that was robbed not

something I was very focused I wanted to

do this you know don't get in my way I'm

coming through

sail around the world by myself has been

an idea dream in the making for over 20

years it's a chance to be part of a

celebration and history as well and to

do it without the GPS without any modern

navigational aids abscess

[Music]

the race finishes in 2019 which is our

50th anniversary and I thought you know

there's something in the stars in the

car more about this it's a global race

the global audience why not get the most

mobile something in the world to partner

with it's so exciting to have DHL

onboard for this race their support is

what will get me to the start line and

hopefully the the finish line as well

she really embodies all the DHL values

she's going to go on a round-the-world

race it lasts for almost a year

how much fortitude and passion do you

need to do something like that I always

knew something like that was coming I

think she's reading telling me actually

and it took her a while to pick up the

phone it is the hardest most mentally

and physically grueling halting

challenges me up racing respective it

isn't any harder I'm often asked what

happens if she's in the middle of some

you know of nowhere and she has an

emergency

some people would all have asked me how

can you let her do that but my answer is

always no matter how can I not

I wouldn't do there a Tibetan believe

that I could do it I mean I love sailing

it's my life is what I do

[Music]

we're going into some of the harshest

environments in the world one of the

things I've been doing to their mentally

is to go through every possible scenario

that could happen hauling the hull or

losing a wreck or inverting there'll be

some really low moments I think was

guarantee that a test down south imagine

and salvation when it had some awful

awful weather

eight months at sea will really well it

will hit me out of time

only one person has ever sailed around

solo without stopping without GPS so the

first person until 2019 will only be the

second person in history who have ever

done that which is enormous there will

be points like just once to stop that

account if you keep going until you get

to that finish line its race and I am

quite competitive the affiliation is to

my home fund imagine doing anything else
