Brad Van Liew 4.17.2016

from Call to Adventure · host with hosts Alex Opoulos & John Duckworth

“Hallucinating and being alone on the ocean is not a good mix, getting off the boat to go grab a Domino's pizza and a six-pack is a bad idea”. Brad Van Liew, America's undisputed champion of solo sailing, shares his story of racing around the world three times, winning twice. He discusses the moment the pinnacle of success merged with financial and personal breakdown, and how "Talladega Nights" felt so autobiographical it inspired the design of his last boat. As he says, "it's not worth living unless you can smile".
