Round the globe with DHL

[ January 10, 2018   //   Chris ]

Following the announcement in June last year that DHL was sponsoring Susie Goodall in the Golden Globe Race in mid-2019, the round-the-world sailor introduced her newly refurbished craft at the London Boat Show on 10 January.

DHL has provided logistics support throughout the refurbishment process, bringing items such as solar panels and watertight doors from around the world to Falmouth, Cornwall.

Susie Goodall is one of the youngest skippers, and the only female, to be competing in the Golden Globe Race, which will see thirty sailors embark on a 48,000 km non-stop circumnavigation of the world’s ocean without any outside assistance.

She said: “Having DHL Express on board as logistics partners gives me all the support and peace of mind I need to focus on the mission that lies ahead at sea.”
