Scarborough Sailor Guy Waites has set off on his attempt to sail single handedly around the world.
Guy is one of just 16 competitors taking part in this year's Golden Globe race.
They left France yesterday for the 26-thousand-mile race using navigation kit from the 1960's.
Guy explains what the race involves.
Guy says he has to be prepared for anything over the coming months
Guy will spend the next 7 months in his boat the Sagamartha.

Sagarmatha was well prepared in Whitby, the forward bulk has been made watertight with and empty storage area forward for sails, and an extra 15 (!) watertight compartments courtesy of the Corribee experience, making the boat virtually unsinkable.
The boat was rewired, plumbing is entirely new, and all systems have been simplified to the maximum to limit potential problems and jamming.
The rig has been taken down, replaced by a deck-stepped Z-spar mast of generous section changed to double spreader, that will be completed with a wardrobe made by Hampshire wizard Peter Sanders.
