Supporting AdventureWHO IS DON MCINTYRE?
Don McIntyre the adventurer who launched retro-round the world racing.
The creator of the ‘retro’ Golden Globe and Ocean Globe Races has experienced more adventures in one lifetime than most could dream of, as Helen Fretter reports.
Don McIntyre is on relaxed form when he calls from Les Sables d’Olonne. His current flock of round the world racers are swooping south on the second leg of the Ocean Globe Race, McIntyre’s 50th anniversary homage to the Whitbread Around the World Race. Conditions were good, and the crews had been revelling in their first taste of Southern Ocean swells. It’s a lifelong ambition made real for those who dreamt of taking part in the original iconic races.
