SeaSailSurfer of november 2008 : Sam Davies
Brit skipper of Roxy in the Vendée Globe : Who could be the SeaSailSurfer of november ? Torben Grael who won two legs in the Volvo Ocean Race. Or Loick Peyon and Seb Josse, the two front runners of the Vendée Globe. Or Sam Davies, one of their only two female competitors in the single handed round the world race ?
Offshore racing need numerous skills including boat timming, navigations, tactics, seamanship. But one necessary talent is good habilities in communication. And during the first weeks of the Vendée Globe, Sam Davis showed great abalities to take photos of her trip aournd the word. She has been able to make images of her 60’ monohull, Roxy, which won the two previous editions with Michel Desjoyeaux and Vincent Riou at her helm. She also been able to photograph herself even during bad and good days. Her photo only dressed with a bikini has already made the round the world. And the 3 Brit is now going to do the same by herself. She is the SeaSailSurfer of the month.
