Are you thinking of joining the Ocean Globe Race in 2027
Outlaw is battle tested, proven in every way by winning legs in the OGR23 and is now ready for the OGR 2027.
Her owners are committed to this lady completing her third racing circumnavigation. We are seeking either fresh campaigners to take the helm, or you can join a cadre of existing crew for the next lap.
Three of the 2023 crew and a fourth adventurer are in the starting blocks, and we are open to any serious proposal that allows Outlaw to be on the start line for 12th September 2027. That date will soon come around once the crew come together, the training begins, the boat has her final preparations and they all meld into a viable ocean racing team.
Time and tide wait for no man, so if you think you might like to have a crack, stop thinking and make contact with us.
OUTLAW is an impressive Baltic 55, originally built in 1984 to compete in the 85/86 Whitbread Round the World Yacht Race. Named EQUITY & LAW for the race, she was built by Baltic in Finland to a Douglas Peterson design.
In 2021, we formed an owner’s cooperative to purchase OUTLAW after finding her in a boat builders’ yard in Albany, USA. She’d been out of the water for many years and was in a remarkable condition considering her age, ultrasound testing confirmed that. The team spent 12 months on the self-funded project, restoring and refurbishing where possible, to fit her out to Word Sailing Offshore standards.
Here are just some of her USP's:
- Whitbread Heritage
- Ocean Globe Race compliant
- One of only 9 pedigree Baltic 55 DP’s built
- New rod rigging in April 2023, completely refurbished in May 2025
- New sails in April 2023

- Comfortable accommodation for 11 crew in original pipe-cots
- All original Barbarossa winches, refurbished
- New watermaker 2023
- New oven 2023
