About The Race  HOW DID IT START Realsail team was a big fan of the Golden Globe Race and they dreamed to building a game to follow the same spirit as the race. Don gave us many ideas of what sailing around the world without GPS is about and we built the game from that. We have added Celestial Navigation and the skipper will only see what is 50nm around. He will have a chart to draw the points gathered from the Celestial Calculations to plan his route. RACES PLAN The main goal is to have the game ready for the official Golden Globe Race 2022 starting on September 4th 2022. Meanwhile, we have built different races to prepare the competition:

• Trial Race: Starting on August 10th and sailing from Lanzarote to Antigua
• Virtual GGR 2021 – Stage 1: Starting on September 12th and sailing from Les Sables d’Olonne to Lanzarote
