ERTAN BESKARDES ON HIS RACE

AROUND THE WORLD

ERTAN Beskardes is on a non-stop journey round the
world sailing race with zero tech allowed.
Ertan is currently 5th place off the coast of East Africa
and he races in battles the waves in the 2022 Golden
Globe Race.
Ertan is a Turkish born British national who began
sailing on the Bosphorus at the age of twelve. If he com-
pletes the race Ertan will be the first Turkish person to
sail around the world nonstop.
He came to the UK in 1979 and made a career in mili-
tary tailoring and regalia, before setting up his own com-
pany with his wife in Bournemouth in 1994. There, they
built a boat in the back garden and have been sailing
regularly in nearby Christchurch harbour since 1998. As
their children grew up he graduated first to a Drascombe
Cruiser Longboat, then a Parker 235 cruising yacht be-
fore buying a Jeanneau Odyssey 33 in 2012, sailing each

to the Azores, taking part in the Jester Challenge race
once, and twice on his own accord only to be thwarted
each time either by limited time or bad weather.
He says: “I have always been self-employed and al-
ways wanted to do something special like sail around
the world. I first learned about the Golden Globe Race
on Facebook in 2017 and thought to enter the second
race in 2022, but then learned that there were places
