Viivi Moisio, Sailing in the Ocean Globe Race on Galiana

Viivi was part of Tapio Lehtinen's crew onboard Galiana for the 2023 Ocean Globe Race. This race was the subject of Tapio's book "Pole Star and Albatross." Viivi is now building a Class Globe 5.80 to sail in the 2026 Mini Globe Transat.  We talk about learning to sail, training for the Ocean Globe Race (OGR), the sinking of Asteria, favorite moments in the OGR, rounding Cape Horn, fear, difficult moments, sail repair, maintaining a positive spirit on Galiana, diving to fix the hydrogenerator offshore, steering across the finish line of the OGR, the unexpected, the Southern Ocean, Galiana, the Globe 5.80 Transat, building her boat, advice for young sailors, and more.
