Solo-Sailing Articles
Ross Hubbard, a seasoned sailor from sunny California, is all set to participate in the Global Solo Challenge 2027-2028. This determined sailor is not a newcomer to the world of solo sailing. With decades of experience under his belt, Hubbard is ready to transform his lifelong dream into a thrilling reality.
The call of adventure was instilled in Hubbard at the tender age of 11 when he first discovered the National Geographic series chronicling Robin Lee Graham’s remarkable solo circumnavigation aboard the vessel Dove. That gripping series gave Hubbard a glimpse into a life he yearned for - that of an ocean adventurer.
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.
