Co-Skipper
Dee Caffari MBE, is the only woman to have sailed solo, non-stop, around the world in both directions. She has now sailed around the world a total of six times and become one of the most successful and recognised British offshore sailors.
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 2008-09 Vendée Globe - single-handed, non-stop, round the world race - crossing the finish line in 6th place out of 30 competitors.
She was a crew member on the all-female Team SCA in the 2014-15 Volvo Ocean Race, and went on to skipper Turn The Tide on Plastic - a mixed and youth-focused team - for the 2017-18 edition of the Volvo Ocean Race.
