Barcelona World Race.

Record breaking British yachtswoman Dee Caffari and her Spanish co-skipper Anna Corbella are the only all female crew taking part in the race and currently sit sixth in the rankings.

Each will establish two world records when they complete the race. Dee will become the only female sailor to have sailed non-stop around the world more times than any other in history. Anna Corbella will become the first Spanish woman to circumnavigate the globe non-stop.
