Dominique Wavre - Switzerland

Considered one of the most experienced sailors in the world, this 49-year old Swiss yachtsman has one Vendée Globe trophy, four Whitbread trophies and 250,000 miles of sailing under his belt. Dominique is one of Switzerland's top Swiss ocean racing specialists. He excels in shorter racing events - he's already done eight "Tour de France à la Voile" and four "Solitaire du Figaro". The pragmatic skipper, well known for his Swiss precision, is brimming with talent. Continuing with single-handed sailing, he built the powerful Finot-Conq for the last Vendée Globe, and paved the way for his entry into Open 60 racing. www.dominiquewavre.com
