Cruising Association Patron, Sir Robin Knox-Johnston, is to return to ocean racing again, competing in the solo Route de Rhum Transatlantic race.
Sir Robin, 75, will be racing across the Atlantic 45 years after he became the first person to sail alone non-stop around the world.
The CA patron, who founded the Clipper Round the World race which ends in July, will be sailing Grey Power, his Open 60 yacht.
Last year he took part in the Rolex Sydney to Hobart Race which sparked his love and excitement of ocean racing again.
Sir Robin will compete in the 10th anniversary edition of the Route de Rhum race which starts in St Malo, France, on November 2, and finishes at the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe.
