Marlow's Blue Ocean Sleigh Ride

Cape Town, South Africa - Fremantle, Australia

Race Crews took on an exhilarating 4,800nm ocean crossing from Cape Town, South Africa to Fremantle, Australia. After departing Table Bay, teams head south into the infamous Roaring Forties, where powerful low-pressure systems and strong westerlies create fast and thrilling sailing conditions.

Crew's battled with relentless downwind conditions, towering waves, and icy spray as they surfed through remote ocean in a test of endurance and teamwork.

Back to the podium for Team GOSH taking top spot for the third time this edition. The team took on nearly 4,800nm of the Roaring Forties and sailed into Fremantle, Australia after 21 Days, 6 Hours and 6 Minutes of racing. London Business school took second place and Unicef third.
