This week on Oceans Unplugged, we’re joined by Swiss offshore sailor Oliver Heer — the first Swiss-German skipper to complete the legendary Vendée Globe.

Oliver shares his journey from a corporate career to professional ocean racing, the realities of sailing solo around the world, and the determination required to keep moving forward when the odds are against you. We explore the preparation, pressure and mindset behind competing at the highest level of offshore sailing, as well as his ambitions for the future with Embrace The Challenge.

An honest and inspiring conversation about resilience, risk and pursuing a life beyond the ordinary.
