Kirsten Neuschafer Takes Golden Globe Sailing Victory
South African sailor Kirsten Neuschafer has become the first woman to win the 2022 Golden Globe Race, a grueling, nonstop, round-the-world sailing competition. Neuschafer beat 15 rivals after spending 235 days alone at sea in a tiny fiberglass boat, relying on celestial navigation. The race is unique in that participants are not allowed to use most modern electronics to find their position at sea.
