Pete Goss , MBE (born 22 December 1961) is a British yachtsman who has sailed more than 250,000 nautical miles (460,000 km ).
A former Royal Marine, he is famous for his pioneering project Team Philips .[2] Legion d'Honneur for saving fellow sailor Raphaël Dinelli in the 1996 Vendée Globe solo around the world yacht race. During a severe storm in the Southern Ocean , he turned his boat around and spent two days sailing into hurricane-force winds, finally finding Dinelli in a life-raft that had been dropped by an Australian Air Force plane shortly before the yacht had sunk. Dinelli is said to have come aboard clutching a bottle of champagne.[3]
He trained the original set of amateur crews for the British Steel Challenge , and competed in the race on board Hoffbräu Lager
Goss lives in Torpoint , Cornwall ,[4]
In June 2008, Goss launched a replica of a 19th-century wooden lugger called Spirit of Mystery Australia on the boat, which has no modern electrical or navigation systems.[5]
