It's a challenge on every conceivable level - technological,
tactical, athletic, mental. Yet it sounds so simple: alone, without
outside help, without a stopover, driven solely by wind and will,
around the globe. The Vendee Globe is to sailors what Mount Everest
is to mountaineers and the Ironman is to triathletes: the ultimate
pinnacle of their sport! The first Japanese Vendee Globe starter
Kojiro Shiraishi passed the challenge in the 2020/2021 sailing race
with flying colours after a dramatic sail repair shortly after the
start. In a gripping battle with the elements, he proved his skills
impressively. His precision-built high-tech yacht DMG MORI Global
One reliably carried the first Japanese participant in the Vendee
Globe through storms, waves as big as houses, and icy dangers in
the Southern Ocean. With his adventure, Kojiro Shiraishi thrilled
millions of fans in Japan and all over the world. This book deals
with Kojiro Shiraishi's journey, his success, his adventures over
the nearly 54,000 kilometres he has travelled non-stop aboard the
DMG MORI Global One. He is the first Asian participant in the
regatta's more than 30-year history to join the exclusive circle of
finishers.
