Ken Read on WBCN
Ken Read, the skipper of the boat that looks like a shoe and can reach speeds of 45 mph, talks to boston radio about the Volvo Ocean Race.
No videos kids, sorry, this is audio only. Still interesting to listen to.
Ken Read, a fellow BU alum, and way more bad ass sailor than I will be skippering a 70 foot boat around the world in search of fame, glory and bragging rights.
I think anyone that sails views competing in the Volvo Ocean Race as one of the pinnacles of the sport. I am no exception and would give lots of things to be able to be a part of this race, even in the least.
PUMA also gets a big shout for throwing so much money into the sport of Sailing, and really attempting to get more and more people interested. www.pumaoceanracing.com
The VOR will be stopping in Boston at some point in May, and you better believe for that 2 week celebration I'm going to be taking my full hour lunch down at fan pier rubbing elbows with some of the most BAMFing sailors in the world.
