Global Solo Challenge – Home

As preparations for the 2027–2028 Global Solo Challenge continue, we are expanding the international network of professionals and collaborators working with the event. We are currently particularly interested in connecting with sponsorship, commercial partnerships and business development professionals who can leverage their experience, networks and professional relationships to help identify and develop new partnership opportunities for the GSC. The collaboration is flexible and success-based, with commission on commercial partnerships generated, and can be undertaken alongside existing professional commitments, with a focus on particular countries, industries or sectors. We are also open to hearing from professionals with other specialist expertise or ideas for collaborations that could contribute to the continued development of the Global Solo Challenge.

As preparations for the 2027–2028 Global Solo Challenge continue, we’re beginning to expand the team of volunteers supporting the event. We’re currently welcoming expressions of interest for both remote volunteering and in-person roles in Vigo. Remote opportunities include media research and relations, and helping us organise and catalogue our growing photo and media archive. In Vigo, we’ll need a much larger team during the preparation, departure and return phases of the event, with opportunities ranging from general event and competitor support to race-office activities, safety inspections, media, photography, interviews and arrival/departure operations. The main periods in Vigo will be June–November 2027 and February–April 2028. In-person opportunities are primarily intended for people already based in Vigo and the surrounding area, as we cannot provide travel or accommodation. Whether you have relevant professional experience or simply think you have skills that could make a useful contribution, we’d be pleased to hear from you. Find out more and register your interest: https://globalsolochallenge.com/en/volunteers-en/ Please feel free to share this with anyone who might be interested. #GlobalSoloChallenge #GSC2027 #Volunteers #Sailing #OffshoreSailing #Vigo

We are delighted to announce a new long-term Strategic Partnership between Pindar and the Global Solo Challenge (GSC) — bringing together two organisations with a shared passion for offshore sailing, innovation and creating new opportunities within the sport. As Official Logistics Partner, Pindar will provide GSC competitors with specialist worldwide support for yacht transportation, customs, shipping, equipment logistics and campaign planning before, during and after the event. But this partnership goes much further than logistics. Together, Pindar and the Global Solo Challenge will work to strengthen the event, support its continued international growth and develop initiatives aimed at making offshore sailing more accessible — particularly for young sailors and women looking to progress into short-handed and solo ocean racing. A dedicated GSC Competitor Logistics Programme will also give current and prospective entrants access to Pindar’s global marine logistics expertise throughout their campaigns, allowing sailors to spend less time worrying about logistics and more time preparing for the ocean. Andrew Pindar OBE DL: “The Global Solo Challenge has quickly established itself as one of the most exciting and accessible events in offshore sailing. Marco and his team have created something genuinely special — an event built around sailors, adventure and the
