Sailing is sailing

Together, it is a trip around the world.

Global voyager?

Time is up to 15 19. The first person to embrace the earth was the explorer Magellan. He set out from Spain with more than 200 crew members of five ocean-going ships. Until September 1522, only 18 crew members of "Victoria" returned from a round trip around the world, but the navigation explorer died in another country. This is the first record of successfully circling the world in history, which not only opened up a new route, but also proved for the first time that the earth is round.

The first time I saw the word "global", dopamine and adrenaline soared and my soul was hit instantly. Exploring the unknown is human instinct. Xu Xiake traveled all over the world's famous mountains, showing that in troubled times, he explored Buddhism in the West, and Zheng He made seven voyages to the West, which wrote the most magnificent chapter in the history of ancient navigation in China. However, after the activities of going to the West stopped, the color of China's ancient navigation immediately faded, and even missed the great navigation era of the rise of modern western countries.

Make extraordinary achievements

For some people, the unique dream is the mission, shackles and glory of their life.

? A global dream that ordinary people can realize?

Lord Robin Knox Johnston, a modern Englishman, is the first legend in the world to complete a solo voyage around the world. Grandpa jazz may feel so bored that one day he was hit on the head by an apple (I guess so) and decided to roll up his sleeves and do something big! ! !

That's right.

Ordinary people climb Mount Everest with professional equipment, such as Vanke's idiot who cooks braised pork.

Now that the level of science and technology and professional equipment are more and more developed, why can't we help inexperienced Xiaobai to take part in the adventure of sailing around the world?

Take them to fight (pretend) (force), take them to the waves, and maybe even drive a potential emerging market?

Grandpa Jazz is far-sighted, not only an excellent navigator, but also a businessman with unique vision. He runs a venture capital company in Klebel, England, and is also a social activist!

After hard and complicated preparation before the game, the actual race route, crew recruitment, ship selection, company establishment and financial support, 1996 was really completed, not bad! Yu is the world's largest sailing competition-the birth of the Clipper Round the World Race, which has changed the life track of countless people.

Grandpa Jazz not only played well by himself, but also created a super attractive IP. He can also take others around the world, gather money while playing, and promote the development of global sailing!

This, this, this, is simply a winner in life!

Volvo regatta | Volvo? Ocean race?

The Clipper Regatta was established in 1995. It is held every two years. Departed from London in August of a single year and returned to London after 1 1 month. It is divided into eight stages, spanning the Atlantic Ocean, the Southern Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, and stopping in more than ten cities around the world. This is the largest amateur round-the-world yacht race in the world. 20 15-20 16 700 people have completed one stop or all eight stops of the global dream, and inexperienced ordinary people can also realize the global dream.

Volvo Regatta is a 44-year-old round-the-world yacht race and a sea marathon. It brings together the best sailors and challenges the harshest ocean in the world. The longest professional sports event in the world is held every three years. Speaking of Volvo Ocean Race, we have to mention Dongfeng Team named by Dongfeng Motor Company, which won the third place in the 20 14- 15 season with the best results ever.

(20 17-20 18 Volvo Ocean Race, and later Melbourne)

"The 20 17- 18 Volvo Ocean Race will sail from Alicante, Spain on 20 17/0/22 October, passing through Lisbon, Cape Town, Melbourne, Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Auckland, Itaga, Newport, Cardiff and Gothenburg. Five continents 12 landmark cities, sailing for eight months, more than 45,000 nautical miles, and the voyage will pass through the most difficult waters on earth. "

To tell the truth, Volvo is a professional sports event, fighting for life, where to stimulate; Clippers are amateur sailing competitions, and it is not enough to fight with life. ...

However, it is widely rumored in the Jianghu that these two awesome global travel events were combined in a small bar. ...

Do you see it? How important it is to go to a bar or club ... Keke ...

Alas, in China, no yacht race has cost the bar culture billions of dollars. ...

Although some stages of the Clippers are less difficult, such as Seattle to new york, some stages still need to fight with their lives, such as Qingdao to Seattle, or Cape Town to Albany, which is said to be more lonely than the most lonely city in the world. Imagine what it's like to live on a boat with 40 knots wind speed and 70 knots gust in the Southern Ocean. The roar of the southern ocean is really not built. It is said that the top speed of the ship has reached 35 knots, which is even more exaggerated than that of a 65 km/h car, and it is cold and wet.

However, in all previous clipper races, except for the captain who is a professional sailor, the rest of the crew are amateur sailors who participated at their own expense.

What do you mean by amateur? You may not even have been on a boat!

At this time, you must have many questions. The only professional captain sailed with a group of novices. Is this not a joke?

? Devil training is worse than competition?

Of course, Sir Grandpa took this into consideration and launched a month-long magic! Ghosts! Bah! Training! RYA practical navigation course, a training system designed for beginners of navigation? Basic sea survival training for qualified crew and rya/MCA dinghy. Sailors selected from all over the world must pass Level 4 training in Hampshire or Sydney, England, before they are eligible to participate in the next global relay.

Popular science tips

RYA is the abbreviation of Royal Yacht Association, Royal Yacht Association.

"Sailing is not only better than competition, but also familiar with meteorology, hydrology, navigation, shipbuilding and other knowledge. You can't win if you shake fast and have good physical strength. "

The registration fee is 5,000 yuan, and the certificate of the fat man has extremely high gold content and the training intensity is extremely high. The textbook manual is in English, even if it is translated into Chinese, it may not be understandable, let alone an all-English manual, which is full of navigation terms. Of course, the crew training of Ambassador Qingdao in Hampshire is also in English.

There is no distinction between men and women on board, and everyone has to work. Imagine the challenge of a 69-foot and 70-foot sailboat with its hull tilted to 45 degrees. Without any physical strength, it is easy to get tired and sleepy.

Because of the difficulty, RYA training in the corrupt country is the most valuable part of the whole experience. You not only teach how to sail, but also teach everyone how to save lives. Then you can exercise after the game. It was completely forced by the output, and the professional skills were saved at the critical moment.

Take a few less detours, do it, and cherish it. ...

(Vicky Song: China's first female global sailing athlete, Qingdao image ambassador)

Goddess Kun once shared in the meeting of the candidate crew, "How to ensure water safety, how to deal with emergencies, the interpretation of weather, ocean currents and monsoons, and the planning of routes. After all, there are many differences between the transoceanic race and the small yacht race near the shore. Clipper training is a good opportunity. "

Walking on the sea, the ship is isolated into a closed world, and everyone has to wear several hats. Whether it is about winch maintenance, sail repair or rope making. First aid, medical care, fire prevention, etc. Even the media reporters on the team have to cook. In each issue of Creber, there are only two cast members in China. The collision of multi-cultures and unfamiliar language environment will definitely be the biggest test.

? Joined Qingdao and picked up more than 10 billion?

Clipper regatta, eight stages, six times across the ocean, a total of more than 700 crew members, covering more than 40,000 nautical miles around the world. Even if you have never had sailing experience, you can still take part in this adventure, as long as you apply for an interview and then … have money …

If it is a full-time crew member, it is equivalent to RMB 500,000; Even if it is a segmented unit, the training cost of the extra stage is about 1 10,000 yuan (nearly 90,000 yuan), and the cost is at least about123,000 yuan with two international round-trip air tickets. At this time, your profession must be thinking,

Who else will do such hard work after spending hundreds of thousands?

The answer is yes, you need to spend money to buy experience.

The clipper race of your life!

What an honor it is.

All other sailors in the world are paid to participate, but being selected as "Qingdao Ambassador Crew" is sponsored! ! ! Yeah, yeah. ! ! You! Don't! Yes! Listen! No! International round-trip air tickets and training and competition fees are sponsored by Qingdao Municipal Government. ...

There is a feeling of being hit by hundreds of thousands falling from the sky.

I feel like I've picked up more than a billion.

Coco ... get to the point.

? Qingdao Maritime Capital Building?

Qingdao, as the host city of sailing and windsurfing in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, has always made "Sailing Capital" one of the city's business cards. Clipper is the first famous international competition that Qingdao participated in, and it is also the international competition that transports the most amateur sailors in Qingdao. A fleet named Clipper Round the World Race has been sailing around the world for 65,438+00 years. Through this competition, Qingdao's city card was publicized to the world and a group of sailors were trained.

Tell the truth, for those who like sailing, how happy Qingdao people are …

10 Over the years, more than 40 people have been selected as crew members of the Qingdao Ambassador. Guo Chuan is a heroic elder in the maritime field, and he was the first person to take part in the yacht race. Vicky Song, the first woman in China to sail around the world, also completed 1 14 months of sailing around the world under extremely difficult conditions. Qingdao, as one of the stops for six years in a row, sponsored the title "Qingdao" which has a 12-year cooperative friendship with the Clipper Regatta.

Be a Qingdao person in the next life. ...

This year's selection competition is very fierce. 80% of the crew candidates have foreign backgrounds, and even have very strong sailing and life experiences, such as flying bombers ... Finally, 16 people were selected for training in the UK, of which 14 were full crew members and 2 were reserve crew members. Everyone completes eight stages in the form of a global relay, and each stage lasts about one month. As a very ordinary sailing enthusiast, how did I get the ambassadorial crew position of deuex10w++? I will share it with you next week.

Grandpa Sir said, "We have a very simple philosophy. When you finish this stage, you will say that this is the best attempt so far. I believe your eyes have been opened. "

Get a higher vision and pattern, and know the cool soul of the world. This is the charm of Klebel! I am looking forward to it. Who will I meet in the future?

Do you want to do something with me every year, which is the key to make yourself proud and break through yourself?

The topic of "message area" interaction is about what you want to break through most this year!
