SeaSailSurfer of June 2009 : Torben Grael, Winner of the Volvo Ocean Race
A new price for Torben Grael ! Past olymic star is now an offshore racing king with is « easy » win in the Volvo Ocean Race.
The race was very long (it did start before the Vendée Globe), there was not a lot of competitors (8 teams including two two-boats campaigns), and not a lot of suspense…
The Team Ericsson did choose the ABN Amro winning system in the previous edition of the round the world race : Juan Kouyoumdjian designs, two boats built and racing. Both sailing under the sponsor coulours…
And, at the head of the main team, the Brazilian star Torben Grael, 5 times olympic medallist, 49 y.o. on July 22nd. And the « Sailing Senna » did well, beating a Puma Team which was quite never at the top and a Telefonica two-boat / big budget campaign from which we will mostly remember the crash at the start from Marstrand…
Then the mission is done and well done for Grael. He is the SeaSailSurfer of the month.
