The anticipation is palpable as he prepares for his momentous departure in the renowned 1968-69 Sunday Times Golden Globe Round the World race from Falmouth. The image beautifully captures the essence of yachting in the 1960s, with its timeless elegance and sense of adventure. As Johnston gazes into the distance, one can almost feel his determination and passion radiating through the lens. His weathered face tells a story of countless nautical miles sailed and challenges overcome. The Suhaili boat itself stands tall against a backdrop of clear blue skies, its mast reaching towards infinity.

This evocative photograph transports us to a time when sailing was more than just a sport; it was an embodiment of human spirit pushing boundaries beyond imagination.
