To all those who have circumnavigated the world:

The OCC is pulling together an official OCC Circumnavigator’s Roll, to recognise those of our members who have completed a World circumnavigation. This will be published in the Members Handbook and on the OCC website, and announced in the eBulletin and Newsletter and on the OCC facebook page.In order for this to become a fully comprehensive listing of all OCC members who have completed a world circumnavigation, we obviously need your help! There are many OCC members who are no longer with us, for one reason or another, and we’d appreciate your assistance in providing either details of a trip and/or contact details for the person involved, if possible. At the bottom of this note is a list of the information that we would like to have. We’d appreciate it if you could return the same to us, for each circumnavigation if multiple have been made, to the OCC at circumnavigators@oceancruisingclub.org.  Also listed are the criteria by which a World Circumnavigation will be assessed: please take careful note of this before sending your info in.

Criteria:
