In 1968, nine sailors set off on the first solo nonstop race around the world. Only one crossed the finish line. Sir Robin Knox-Johnston returned aboard Suhaili to claim the Sunday Times Golden Globe - while behind him, one competitor faked his positions, another sailed to Tahiti instead of the finish line, and a third pushed his boat so hard it fell apart 1,200 miles from home.

Nearly fifty years later, Australian adventurer Don McIntyre decided to bring the race back. The rules were simple: sail around the world alone, without stopping, using only the technology available in 1968. No GPS. No satellite weather. No electronic instruments. Navigate by sextant, listen to music on cassette tapes, and if something breaks halfway round the world, fix it yourself or retire. Fewer than one in five who start the Golden Globe Race will finish it.
