The 2018 Golden Globe Race was an around-the-world sailing race which started on 1 July 2018 from Les Sables-d'Olonne, France. The 2018 competition was the second edition and celebrated the 50th anniversary of the original Sunday Times Golden Globe Race. It featured yachts similar to those used at that time. Except for safety equipment, no modern technology was allowed.
