On today's episode we are joined by British sailor and world record holder Dee Caffari.
Awarded an MBE in recognition of her solo circumnavigation against the prevailing winds and currents, Dee set a world record by becoming the first woman to complete this ‘wrong’ way round voyage in 2006. Dee went on to compete in the 2008/9 Vendée Globe – a race around the world, non-stop and alone, known within the sailing arena as the pinnacle solo offshore event, crossing the finish line in 6th place out of 30 competitors. Becoming the only woman to sail around the world in both directions, solo and unsupported.
Dee has now sailed around the world a total of six times, in the capacity of both critical crew member and skipper, leading teams in an extreme racing environment. Her career has seen her rise through the ranks to become one of the most successful and recognised British Offshore Sailors.
