A young British adventurer will start her 6,000 passage from Panama to Fiji this week.
Jasmine Harrison, double world-record holder, continues her solo sail around the world!
On Tuesday 25th March Jasmine Harrison will be setting off from La Playita Marina, Panama City on Leg 2 of her solo sail around the world in a handmade 5.8m (19 feet) yacht to sail 6000 miles across the Pacific Ocean to Fiji.
Jasmine is an entrant in the inaugural Mini Globe Race organised by McIntyre Adventure.
Since December she has completed a qualifying solo sail from Portugal to Lanzarote in her boat Numbatou. She then successfully completed a transatlantic crossing to Antigua, 2865 nautical miles in 28 days, arriving at dawn under a rainbow! On 23rd February 2025 Jasmine then sailed from Antigua to Panama. That leg of the staged race took her 11 days, 1179 nautical miles.
This race is another challenge of a lifetime for the young Yorkshire adventurer. She is sailing single- handed, racing against 14 other international sailors, and is one of only two female competitors. She is the youngest to take part at aged 25.
