Guy DeBoer, Offshore Racing, GGR 2026?

Guy deBoer is a professional sailor active in offshore racing. He was in the 2022 Golden Globe Race, but went aground in the Canary Islands and had to retire from the race. He eventually saved and rebuilt the boat, Spirit, a Tashiba 36.

We talk about his new (to him) Cheoy Lee and how old full-keel boats are sometimes free or nearly free, racing in the Two Star in a Jenneau 45, dealing with the cold, jibing asymetric spinnakers, the 2026 Golden Globe Race, sponsors, the GGR documentary film, the Race to Alaska, the Everglades Challenge, crocodiles alligators and pythons, dealing with living in the heat on a boat, air conditioners, dealing with sleep apnea, sailing in Newport, sailing Fazizi, raising money, and more.
