The Golden Globe Race is back in 2018, Following in the footsteps of Robin Knox Johnston in Suhaili , the winner of the original 1968 Sunday Times Golden Globe. Race founder Don McIntyre explains. No satellites, no electric autopilots, no high-tech, sailing 32-36ft production yachts designed before 1988. A race back to the Golden Age of Solo sailing.

And the first man to circumnavigate the globe alone (not non-stop) was Joshua Slocum in June 27th, 1898, having traveled 46,000 over his 3 year voyage.

Computers, although in their infancy, did exist in the late 60's... The space race, along with Niel Armstrong's moon landing could not of been possible without computers...

Any plans to include a fin keel class of same length and vintage yachts in future editions? It would increase the number of sailors who already have a fin keel pre-1988 boat

In those days the equipment wad the size of a large washing machine, cost about $100,000 and airtime was rediculious expensive :)
