GLY Rally
A range of rallies around the world
It was in 2021, at the initiative of the famous navigator Jimmy Cornell, that the idea was to propose to the owners of the sailboats of the group Grand Large Yachting a tour of the world sailing. More than 30 boats start in September 2021 for the very first edition: the World Odyssey 500. It is about celebrating the first sailing tour of the world by Magellan and El Cano. Since then, the GLY Rally range has expanded with several routes and departures.

The World Odyssey, a world tour in 3 years
Three years, three oceans, more than 30,000 miles to travel, is the adventure of a life. After a very good first edition, new World Odyssey starts are planned in November 2025 and November 2027. Two routes are proposed, via the Panama Canal or via Cape Horn, in both cases, an unforgettable adventure.
"We are really happy about this adventure. We found friends for life in the rally, and free sailing also allows us to meet other crews, who do not participate in the Rally. It was important for us to keep this dose of freedom, because this is also what we came to look for with this journey. The balance is perfect for us".
"During the Transpac, every day a rally boat sends its poem in French or English on our common blog, it feeds this feeling of "GLYWO family" with thirteen nationalities represented. This is reassuring in the midst of this empty vastness, for there is always another boat not very far away that can help us."
"We are amazed by everything we see, the diversity of landscapes, the richness of the seabed, the cultures is such that we feel that every day that passes is different from the previous one. It's almost a return to childhood."
Nordic Odyssey, a season to discover Northern Europe
A new route for nine months of sailing from the Canary Islands to Northern Europe, passing through the Azores. The Nordic Odyssey offers the experience of a very varied navigation, high seas, canals, fjords, and coastal navigation, it is not always necessary to leave far to be landscaped.
