Le Sable Dolan (France): South Africa’s Kirsten Neuschaffer won the Golden Globe Race, a single-handed circumnavigation of the world in a paddle boat. 39-year-old Kirsten completed the round-the-world race in 235 days.

On September 4, 2022, Kirsten set sail from Le Sable Dolan, France on her sailboat ‘Minnahaha’. Kirsten Pai made history by becoming the first woman and the first South African sailor to win a sailing race by crossing the three capes in an eight-month voyage. In 235 days, 5 hours and 44 minutes, Kirsten completed a distance of 30,290 nautical miles and returned to the port of Le Sable Dolan.

Malayali sailor Abhilash Tommy, who is second in the Golden Globe race, will touch the shore on Saturday as the second. Abhilash’s ‘Bayanat’ pie boat approaches the finishing point of Le Sable Dolan Harbour. A new history will be born when Abhilash’s pie boat approaches the finishing point on Saturday. This is the first time an Indian has won the Golden Globe race. Abhilash’s solo journey has been going on for 235 days.

One of the most adventurous sports in the world is the Golden Globe Rowing Competition. On September 4, 2022, three people, including Abhilash, were left in the Golden Globe race that started from France with 16 people. Austrian Michael Guggenberger is in third place.

In 2018, Abhilash Tommy might not complete the first journey of the Golden Globe race due to an accident. The journey will end following 28,000 nautical miles on the boat, which uses 1968 technology. You can talk to your family only when you reach the shore.

In 2012, when he was a naval officer, Abhilash Tommy returned from the coast of Mumbai in a pai boat. He returned to Mumbai in April 2013 following traveling regarding four lakh kilometers alone. Abhilash Tommy is the first Indian and the second Asian to circumnavigate the world solo in a Pai boat. Abhilash, who retired as a naval commander, was honored with the Kirti Chakra and the Tenzing Norge award.
