[1] Berrimilla's first circumnavigation began with the 2004 Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race, continued via an unscheduled stop in Dunedin, New Zealand, after a severe knockdown and on to Cape Horn and Port Stanley in the Falkland Islands/Malvinas.

She sailed direct to Alaska from Sydney and then via the North West Passage to Falmouth, UK where she was laid up for the winter.

The original intention was to return north of Russia to the Bering Strait – the Northern Sea Route – but the permit to do so arrived too late to complete the voyage safely before the winter freeze.

Berrimilla sailed her second 2009 Fastnet race and returned to Australia via Lisbon, Cape Town and the Kerguelen Islands in 2010.

Alex Whitworth was Berrimilla's permanent skipper, and Peter Crozier, Corrie McQueen and Kimbra Lindus were part of the crew at different periods of two circumnavigations.
