On 25 September 2011, sailers from around the globe set off on one of the world's most adventurous and challenging races, the Global Ocean Race 2011-2012. The route of the five leg race, totaling 30 000 nautical miles (55 560 kms), passes through some of the roughest waters on the planet as seen below.
Wilde proudly sponsored the South African team, Phesheya Racing, with boxes of refreshing Wilde 100% Fruit Juice. The members of the team, Nick Laggatt (Left) and Phillippa Hutton-Squire (Right), are pictured below with Wilde 100% Fruit Juice in hand passing the Cape Horn in South America. Phesheya is a Zulu word which translates to Overseas, a fitting name for a global racing yacht.
The duo crossed the Global Ocean Race Leg 3 finish line in third place on 7 March in Punta del Este with a time of just over 38 days to complete the 3 600 nautical mile journey form Wellington (New Zealand) to Uruguay.
