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
