Join the Rally of a Lifetime!
Grand Large Yachting and Jimmy Cornell are delighted to announce the GLY World Odyssey 500, which is an around the world sailing event aimed at highlighting the consequences of climate change by calling at some of the most endangered island communities. This global sailing event will also endeavor to highlight the effects of climate change on the Arctic icecap, the Great Barrier Reef, and the Galapagos Islands, all of which lie on the Odyssey route.
The GLY World Odyssey was previously only open to monohulled and multihulled vessels of one of the Grand Large Yachting brands: Allures, Garcia, Gunboat, Outremer and RM Yachts. But have decided to open the rally to a few non-GLY boats. Please keep in mind that they aim to have as many children as possible taking part in this Odyssey, so they’ll give priority to the boats with budding crewmembers… so be sure to register quickly!
The adventure begins September 2021, commemorating the 500th anniversary of the first round the world voyage by Ferdinand Magellan and Juan Sebastian Elcano, and the 20th anniversary of Grand Large Yachting.
Participants of the Odyssey will receive a suite of support services and events during stopovers, and the enjoyment of a community traveling around the world together while still having the freedom to customize plans. The rally is organized along two different routes (Tropical or Southern), four organized starting points (Cherbourg, La Grande-Motte, Séville or Key West), but of course with the flexibility to join in along the route and detour to visit your dream destinations along the way. Requests to join the full rally or just a few legs will be considered.
This round-the-world sailing event is also a great opportunity to take part in scientific, educational and community projects along the way, all related to the “One Planet – One Future” theme.
The GLY World Odyssey 500 website will be the main online source of this exciting round the world rally. Join one of the optional starts: September 2021 from Europe, January 2022 from the Eastern Caribbean or February 2022 from Florida, USA.
