Rich Wilson, Vendee Globe Sailing Race 2008 - 2009: During 2008 – 2009, Rich Wilson became only the second American to finish the Vendee Globe, one of the most grueling and dangerous sailing races on the planet.

At 58, Wilson finished ninth out of the 30 race starters despite his age, severe asthma and numerous bumps along the way.

Wilson’s tenacity, skill, determination and perseverance will inspire and motivate even the most landlocked audience member.

A lifelong educator, Wilson has now turned his adventure into a book, Race France to France, and an online site for K – 12 students.
