Join us to win Ocean Globe Race in 2027
In 2023, we dominated the race. We broke the boat. We learned. We never gave up.
Now we’re going back.
Translated 9’s journey at the Ocean Globe Race 2023
At Translated, we believe in humans
We produce great translations by combining human creativity with artificial intelligence. We believe that, by teaming up with great people with deeply held values, we can overcome any challenge.
To celebrate this belief, Translated took on the Ocean Globe Race 2023. Our sailboat Translated 9 became the most successful Italian boat in the history of ocean racing. We broke the boat. We learned. Now we’re going back.
For the Ocean Globe Race 2027, Translated 9 returns to the start line: same belief, deeper experience. We know what it takes to go around the world: the endurance, the trust, the absolute belief that the person next to you will not quit. We never quit. It’s what brought us here— and what’s taking us back. This is the Translated Spirit.
Ocean Globe Race 2027
The Ocean Globe Race is the future of accessible around-the-world ocean yacht racing for any sailor and has a strong future. This opportunity returns after nearly 30 years and is set to inspire and capture the imagination of sailors and passionate followers the world over. No GPS and no electronic maps – just a sextant and stargazing to guide them on their way. No communication with the world during the journey—just resilience, empathy, and creativity in the face of the unexpected.

The Translated spirit
It’s what makes someone say “yes”
when every reasonable voice says “wait.”
The young
And—more importantly—the
young in spirit. Age is a number.
Hunger is a state of mind.
The adventurous
People attracted by the unknown. Professional and non-professional
sailors who know, deep down, they
were built for something like this.
The committed
People who understand that circumnavigation isn’t a race against the sea. It’s a race against the version of yourself that almost gave up.
Join us at the Ocean Globe Race 2027. Crew selection is open. Participation is free.
How it works
We’re assembling a crew of adult women and men, composed of one-third professionals and two-thirds non-professionals, as set out in the Ocean Globe Race rules. Experience and eligibility requirements vary by role.
Applicants are evaluated on their mission fit, motivation, and specific technical skills, including immigration procedures, photography, and multimedia communication. The selection process assesses candidates on their resilience, humility, and coachability, as well as their ability to contribute to the crew’s success beyond personal performance.
• Participation is free. Translated covers all expenses during the regatta for selected participants.
• Professional sailors receive a competitive salary and insurance.
• During the trial phase all applicants cover the cost of traveling to the boat. Translated provides food and 1 night of accommodation.
