Kirsten Neuschäfer has become the first woman to win the Golden Globe Race
Neuschäfer and 15 other competitors, who were all men, set off from Les Sables-d’Olonne, France on September 4, 2022, with the aim of making it around the world via the five Great Capes before returning to the coastal town in the west of France. Entrants race solo, non-stop, and in boats that are reminiscent of the ‘Golden Age’ of solo sailing – the yachts have to be designed before 1988 and are without electronic instruments or autopilots.
” Neuschäfer also touched on the issue of gender given she was the only woman in the race, adding: “I wanted to win, not as a woman. I didn’t want to be in a separate category but to compete on equal terms with all the skippers.” The mayor of Les Sables-d’Olonne Yannick Moreau praised the magnitude of the 40-year-old Neuschäfer’s achievement. “The only woman at the start of the longest sporting event in the world came out on top and became a legend.
