The honest answer? Because when I watched the start of the 2020-21 Vend\u00e9e Globe during lockdown, I was at my desk for 12-16 hours a day, and I realised I needed something more: freedom, adventure, true challenge. That moment lit the spark for me to set what many would call a crazy goal. I\u2019ll admit it\u2019s a huge mountain to climb from where I\u2019m starting, but that\u2019s why it\u2019s so exciting to me. &nbsp;Sailing alone for nearly three months through the toughest oceans on earth is a test of everything &#8211; endurance, focus, and resilience. It\u2019s also a chance to represent something bigger than myself: to hopefully inspire others, to put Canadians on the world stage in offshore sailing, and to use this platform to raise awareness of one of the most important issues of our time &#8211; protecting our planet\u2019s water through our Be Water Positive campaign.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"Paragraph SCXW14802798 BCX0\" dir=\"ltr\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"Paragraph SCXW14802798 BCX0\" dir=\"ltr\">I\u2019m not just chasing the finish line of the Vend\u00e9e Globe, I\u2019m embracing every mile and every learning curve, because for me it\u2019s as much about the journey as the result.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"Paragraph SCXW14802798 BCX0\" dir=\"ltr\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"Paragraph SCXW14802798 BCX0\" dir=\"ltr\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"Paragraph SCXW14802798 BCX0\" dir=\"ltr\"><b>From the Boardroom to the Ocean<\/b>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"Paragraph SCXW14802798 BCX0\" dir=\"ltr\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"Paragraph SCXW14802798 BCX0\" dir=\"ltr\">My background isn\u2019t the traditional path to this race. I spent most of my career in business building companies, leading teams, and making decisions under pressure. In many ways, that experience prepared me for offshore sailing. But nothing truly compares to being alone in the middle of the ocean, where every decision, every sail change, every small mistake is yours alone and can make the difference between success and failure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"Paragraph SCXW14802798 BCX0\" dir=\"ltr\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"Paragraph SCXW14802798 BCX0\" dir=\"ltr\">I\u2019ve had to learn, fast. That\u2019s why I\u2019ve brought in people who\u2019ve done it before, like\u202fNick Moloney, our CEO and one of the few sailors in history to have completed the Vend\u00e9e Globe.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"Paragraph SCXW14802798 BCX0\" dir=\"ltr\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"Paragraph SCXW14802798 BCX0\" dir=\"ltr\">Working alongside him and our wider support team has been an incredible education.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"Paragraph SCXW14802798 BCX0\" dir=\"ltr\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"Paragraph SCXW14802798 BCX0\" dir=\"ltr\"><b>The Ocean Race Europe: Testing Ourselves<\/b>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"Paragraph SCXW14802798 BCX0\" dir=\"ltr\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"Paragraph SCXW14802798 BCX0\" dir=\"ltr\">This summer, we took part in\u202f<b>The Ocean Race Europe<\/b>, sailing against some of the best IMOCA teams in the world.
