Globe40 - Arrival Free Dom 4th Leg © Globe40

They came back from far away. Very far away.

After being forced to turn back twice from Sydney due to technical issues, the Class40 Freedom never gave up.

Determination, patience, and courage guided the crew all the way to Valparaíso, after thousands of miles and countless doubts overcome.

This arrival is far more than just another stage of the Globe 40. It is a true feat for this boat sailing under the colors of Réunion Island.

Respect to those who never stopped believing.
