Guy deBoer is back.

After one of the most dramatic stories of the Golden Globe Race 2022, the American skipper returns for GGR 2026 with unfinished business.

In this live interview with Don McIntyre, Guy talks openly about:

• his dramatic 2022 retirement after running onto the rocks near Lanzarote

• the long road back to the start line how stolen sails, stolen gear, and financial setbacks nearly ended his campaign

• the last-minute support that brought his GGR 2026 entry back to life

• rebuilding Spirit after massive hull damage

• why he still believes his Tashiba 36 can be one of the fastest boats in the fleet

• the hard lessons from 2022, especially about sleep, land, and pacing near shore

• what still needs funding, including safety gear, insurance, food, and final prep

• why, at nearly 70 years old, he still wants to take on the toughest solo race in the world

Guy also reflects on:

• his background as a lifelong sailor from New Orleans

• his professional racing career owning what he jokingly calls “the smallest newspaper in America” in Key West

• the raw reality of the Golden Globe Race compared with modern solo races his desire not just to finish, but to win

This is a story of resilience, unfinished business, hard lessons, and one skipper’s determination to come back stronger.

Guy deBoer is not done yet.
