Mark Sinclair, the only Australian skipper in the 2022 Golden Globe Race, has decided to retire in Lanzarote.
He was one of 16 sailors to cross the start line in Les Sables d’Olonne less than three weeks ago.
Speaking from his Lello 34 masthead sloop, Coconut, he revealed he always planned to stop at the race’s second photo drop in Cape Town in order to attend his son’s wedding. This would have put him in the Chichester Class for entrants who make one stop.
However, strong southwesterly headwinds in the Bay of Biscay meant his start was much slower than expected.
When he returns to the boat he is planning to return to his home in South Australia via the Panama Canal and the South Pacific.
