🌊 GOLDEN GLOBE RACE 2026 | A MAJOR TURNING POINT IN THE SOUTH ATLANTIC

The latest week has brought a major change to the Golden Globe Race. 🇮🇪 Pat Lawless has officially retired after a serious failure in his Solent rig, ending a remarkable challenge that had brought him to within approximately 100 nautical miles of race leader Damien Guillou.

🇫🇷 Guillou remains at the front, while Ertan Beskardes is holding second place and Andrea Lodolo continues the pursuit. Light winds around Trindade Island are creating new tactical challenges for the chasing fleet.

⛵ We are also following Classic Mara aboard Showgirl. Mara is continuing south and may have an opportunity to regain ground on Etienne Messikommer as the next breeze arrives. The latest official report shows the two sailors closely matched, with the outcome still uncertain.

The race is a reminder that every mile brings new decisions, challenges and opportunities. With the Southern Ocean still ahead, the real test is far from over.

🌊 GOLDEN GLOBE RACE 2026 | LAWLESS CLOSES IN ON THE LEAD

The battle at the front of the Golden Globe Race is heating up!
🇫🇷 Damien Guillou aboard Solarem still leads, but Ireland's Pat Lawless has reduced the gap to just 93 nautical miles in the latest published update. With changing winds and pressure systems across the South Atlantic, the contest is far from settled.

⛵ Behind them, Ertan Beskardes continues to lead the chasing group, while the fleet prepares for the next major milestone, the passage towards the Cape of Good Hope.

We are also following Classic Mara aboard Showgirl. Mara has recorded encouraging daily progress, but persistent tracking problems mean her exact current position cannot yet be confirmed reliably. We will continue to follow her journey as the race unfolds.

🌍 The fleet has already faced tropical-storm conditions, frustrating calms and equipment problems. The Southern Ocean is still ahead, and the challenge is only getting started.

More than five weeks after the start of the McIntyre Golden Globe Race on 6 September, the leading pair are locked in a much closer contest.

🌊 GOLDEN GLOBE RACE 2026 | THE ATLANTIC STARTS TO SEPARATE THE FLEET

One month after leaving Les Sables-d’Olonne, the Golden Globe Race is entering a new phase.

The leaders, Damien Guillou aboard Solarem and Pat Lawless aboard Silvermines Hydro, have broken clear and are now sailing in the southeast trade winds.
Behind them, Ertan Beskardes has been rewarded for his eastern tactical route and has moved into third, while the chasing group continues to face highly variable conditions across the Atlantic.

⛵ We are following Classic Mara aboard Showgirl as she continues south with the chasing fleet. After some impressive 24-hour runs earlier in the race, Mara is now navigating the difficult and unpredictable conditions of the Doldrums and South Atlantic.

The past week has also brought equipment problems, hull fouling, radio issues and even a serious moment of concern for one skipper, reminding everyone just how demanding this race really is.

🌍 The fleet is becoming increasingly spread out, but with thousands of miles still ahead, nothing is decided.

🌊 **GOLDEN GLOBE RACE 2026 – A TOUGH WEEK AT SEA**

The Golden Globe fleet has just experienced its first major Atlantic test.

🌪️ **Tropical Storm Gonzalo** brought strong winds, confused seas and difficult decisions, with some skippers reporting winds around 50 knots and waves reaching five metres.

For **Classic Mara aboard *Showgirl***, her more westerly route helped her avoid the worst of the storm. But the days that followed brought light winds, challenging sailing and some very personal moments as Mara reflected on the purpose behind her Golden Globe adventure.

Meanwhile, at the front of the fleet, Damien Guillou aboard *Solarem* has now become the **first skipper to cross the Equator**, with Pat Lawless close behind.

🌍 The fleet is entering a new phase — the Southern Hemisphere awaits, and thousands of miles of ocean still lie ahead.

We are proud to support **Classic Mara** and will continue following her journey every week.
