Volvo Ocean Race CEO Glenn Bourke could not resist the challenge from new logistics sponsor Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics (WWL) to be the helmsman in their boat competing in this weekend’s famous annual Faerder regatta on Oslo’s harbour.
Bourke is not just a “businessperson” controlling people's lives in the oceans from behind a desk, in Volvo Ocean Race headquarters. Bourke is a triple world champion Laser sailor and twice Australian Yachtsman of the Year. He has raced successfully in the Mumm 36 class, finishing third in the 1994 Mumm 36 World Championships in the Solent. Bourke also won the Royal Southern SB3 Grand Prix and Seaview SB3 Grand Prix recently.
