Lapping the Planet - From Ultim to Class 40 and Mini 5.80m

If you're looking to complete a lap pf the planet, now's the time to knuckle down to business. And there are plenty out there who are doing just that. But what makes this this season so different is the range of boats out there right now. From the giant 32m Ultims looking to break the fully crewed non-stop record and win the Jules Verne Trophy, to those looking to set a completely new record and those who are sailing double handed in Class 40s. Plus, the eleven solo sailors that are currently looking at the home stretch having already clocked up over 20,000 miles in their 5.80m long home built plywood monohulls. Yes, you read that right, it's not a typo. We take a look at this season's global circumnavigations. We also have a helping of Docktalk where we look at what Hall Spars and Quantum Sails have been up to. (Note: Opening sequence includes flash frames)
