There are few 'firsts' left, we just wrote a piece of history | Dee Caffari | The Sailing Pod Ep.10

In this episode of The Sailing Podcast, brought to you by Sunsail, host Theo Stocker and Yachting World Editor Helen Fretter head to the Royal Southern Yacht Club to sit down with a true legend of the sea: Dee Caffari, MBE.


Fresh off her seventh circumnavigation, Dee shares the raw, unfiltered story of The Famous Project—a record-breaking mission that saw the first all-female team complete a non-stop lap of the planet on a giant multi-hull. From hitting 40 knots in the Southern Ocean to battling 10-meter waves in the Bay of Biscay with a shredded mainsail and a sheared autopilot, Dee describes what she calls "the scars of battle."


Beyond the adrenaline of the Jules Verne Trophy, we dive into Dee’s unconventional start in sailing, her transition from sports science teacher to world-record breaker, and her passionate drive to create opportunities for the next generation of female sailors. Whether you're a seasoned racer or a weekend cruiser, this conversation is a masterclass in tenacity, leadership, and the addictive nature of ocean racing.
