Celebrating Sir Chay Blyth’s 50th Anniversary of Solo Circumnavigation
Barry Pickthall
Royal Southern Yacht Club
September 8, 2021
Royal Southern Yacht Club welcome Sir Blyth and Sir Knox-Johnson to celebrate westabout achievements.
British yachtsman Sir Chay Blyth returned to the Hamble in August to celebrate the 50th anniversary of his victorious return to the UK at the end of a pioneering 292-day solo non-stop westabout circumnavigation against the prevailing winds and currents aboard his 59ft ketch rigged yacht British Steel.
A large crowd gathered at the Royal Southern Yacht Club to welcome his return, including fellow pioneer solo circumnavigator Sir Robin Knox-Johnston, and Mike Golding who was the first to break Sir Chay’s record 23 years later.
The fact that only five sailors have managed to complete the same “wrong way” voyage in the 50 years since, compared to the 140 who have sailed eastabout with the prevailing winds, underlines the enormity of Blyth’s feat at a time when yachts were not equipped with roller furling, GPS navigation, high-tech communications or tech-enabled self-steering. In fact, Blyth’s wind vane self-steering was smashed in a storm off Cape Horn, and Blyth had to steer his 59ft yacht by hand for the remaining 20,000 miles.
Sir Robin Knox-Johnston said, “Francis Chichester, Alec Rose, myself and Chay were the pathfinders when the Brits dominated this form of ocean sailing, which led to a lot of people taking up the sport.”
Mike Golding, a former fireman who has completed six circumnavigations is one of these. “Sir Chay’s voyage excited me enough to get sailing and has shaped my career ever since. The continuing success achieved this last week by Team GB sailors at the Tokyo Olympics may not have been nearly so good had these pioneers like Sir Chay and Sir Robin not excited so many to buy boats and get afloat, for it is their children or grandchildren that are now leading the charge in international sailing. We have a great deal to thank them for and today is marked in the history of our sport.

Britain’s Sir Chay Blyth is the paratrooper turned yachtsman and adventurer who was responsible as much as anyone for the sudden rise in popularity of the sport in the 1970s
Britain’s Sir Chay Blyth is the paratrooper turned yachtsman and adventurer who was responsible as much as anyone for the sudden rise in popularity of the sport in the 1970s.
While still in the army, Sir Chay rowed across the Atlantic in 1966, together with John Ridgway, and two years later, he competed in the Sunday Times Golden Globe Race.
He was the first person to sail non-stop westwards around the world in 1971 on the 59’ yacht, British Steel, taking 292 days, for which he was awarded a CBE.
He openly admits that when he set off in 1970, he knew nothing about navigation or sailing and thought he would teach himself as he went along.
The Times later described his voyage as ‘the most outstanding passage ever made by one man alone’, and thousands came to greet him on his return.
Blyth’s next challenge was the inaugural Whitbread Round the World Race in 1973-74, where his yacht, Great Britain II won line honours, setting a bench-mark record for the circumnavigation of 144 days.
He skippered the same yacht again in 1981-82, the third Whitbread Race, but this time Great Britain II was renamed United Friendly and the 77’ yacht went on to compete in five consecutive Whitbread races, something that is hard to imagine in today’s professional era.
