Barcelona World Race Sailor Info: Sebastian Josse

There are 9 boats starting the Barcelona World Race. As this is the first non stop double handed circumnavigation race there are 18 sailors. Generally there is a skipper and co-skipper. It is the skippers program and in a years time the skipper, such as J.P. Dick will sail the boat in the Vendee Globe. The co-skipper then was selected just for this race.



Sébastien Josse age 32 is part of the race's youngest team on PRB. Josse has been around the world three times. First on the Orange maxi cat, then in the 2004-2005 Vendee Globe solo on an Open 60 and finally as Skipper of the Volvo 70 Abn Amro 2 in the most recent Volvo Ocean race. Interestingly Josse will be sailing Estrella Damm in the next Vendee Globe.
