The grand ocean and its unrestricted expanses have always lured the adventurous at heart, inciting a compelling desire to uncover the world’s unexplored corners. The Oyster World Rally 2026-2027, a symbol of this longing for discovery, recently commenced in Antigua, embarking on a fully supported 16-month circumnavigation of the globe.
Sailing boat owners and enthusiasts congregated at the start line, excitement palpable in the air, as they prepared to delve into an incredible journey that would see them traverse the world’s oceans. Among them, the owner of the Oyster 595 Viva candidly recounted his journey from being a casual boat enthusiast to embarking on a worldwide adventure. With humor and charm, he spoke of the initial interaction with an Oyster salesman that eventually led him to upgrade his vessel and, with the builder’s support, prepare for this expansive voyage.
Jazz Turner, a name synonymous with daring and audacity, has successfully concluded her breathtaking circumnavigation of the British Isles & Ireland, undertaking this epic journey alone and unaided. This marked the realization of ‘Project FEAR’, a daring venture that challenged the limits of sailing and self-endurance.
Solo sailing is not for the faint-hearted. It demands physical prowess, mental fortitude, and technical expertise in equal measures. Jazz has demonstrated all this and more as she undertook this heroic journey all by herself.
This awe-inspiring adventure took her around the rugged coasts, across tempestuous waters and through spectacular scenery. It was a voyage of discovery that revealed not just the unparalleled beauty of the British Isles, but also the indomitable spirit of a woman who dared to sail alone.
