Volvo Ocean Race ‘obsessive’ Bouwe Bekking with Team Brunel back for an eighth shot at glory

Bouwe Bekking, the most experienced sailor in Volvo Ocean Race history, will return to skipper the seventh confirmed team in the 2017-18 edition

Bouwe Bekking, the most experienced sailor in Volvo Ocean Race history, will return to skipper the seventh confirmed team in the 2017-18 edition – and give himself another chance at claiming an elusive first victory at the eighth attempt.

No one has sailed more miles in the Volvo Ocean Race than Bekking, who made his first appearance as a crewmember on Philips Innovator back in 1985-86.

More than 30 years on, and now aged 54, Bekking’s Volvo Ocean Race obsession has only intensified.

Team backers include #brunel, the Dutch-based global project management, recruitment and consultancycompany, and its founder #janbrand. #brunel are Volvo Ocean Race veterans themselves, having had their first involvement in 1997-98.
