Notes:This race in particular is based on the 1990 and 2002 course for the BOC Challenge/Around Alone, but it’s taking place in 2016, as the Velux 5 Oceans—there is no race this year, for various reasons, and no course has been announced for next year, so I chose my favorite! Baekhyun’s yacht is a monohull open 60/ eco 60 racing sailboat with no motor, a sail and a jib, with limited winches and jammers. It’s based on the design of Samantha Davies’ boat in the 2012-2013 Vendée Globe race!
