...Vendée Globe 2012
Dee Caffari is the first woman to have sailed single-handed and non-stop around the world in both directions and the only woman to have sailed non-stop around the world three times.
In 2006 Dee became the first woman to sail solo, non stop, around the world against the prevailing winds and currents and was awarded an MBE in recognition of her achievement.
Dee successfully completed the gruelling Vendée Globe Race in 2009, crossing the finish line in 6th place out of an original fleet of 30 competitors. In June of the same year, Dee and an all-female crew went on to smash the mono-hull speed record around Britain and Ireland. Now having completed her third non-stop circumnavigation in the Barcelona World Race, Dee is looking to the future.
Dee aims to compete in the Vendée Globe once again with the intention of securing a podium position. Dee's race to the start line has now begun and she is actively looking for a new title sponsor to support her 2012/13 Vendée Globe campaign. For more information click here.

Onboard we shall have the race crew for Sail Arabia – The Tour, Intesar and Raya alongside the International crew and we shall train intensely for a few hours off the entrance to Mussanah Marina. Hopeful...
