Hell Or High Water

EP.2: Pete Goss, MBE – The Everest of Sailing


Listen Later

For Episode 2 we welcomed Pete Goss to the show.  A Gentleman of the sea and an old friend of the brand, over the years Pete has captivated us with his innate ability to tell extraordinary stories. A sailor recognised and revered for his seamanship and triumph over adversity, Pete is also an adventurer in the truest sense of the word. A former Royal Marine, Pete has walked to the North Pole, kayaked around Tasmania, built arguably the most advanced sailing catamarans ever, in Team Phillips, and sailed from Cornwall to Australia in a small wooden 19th Century Lugger.

 Pete is perhaps best known for his heroic rescue of Frenchman Raphael Dinelli in the 1996 Vendée Globe - one of the most gruelling sailboat races in the world - testing the limits of strength, courage and faith. For his bravery he was awarded the MBE by Her Majesty the Queen and the Légion d'Honneur by the French President.

For this episode we speak with Pete on his single handed circumnavigation in the 1996 Vendée Globe - the worlds most gruelling sailboat race, and his rescue of fellow competitor Raphael Dinelli
