Pete Goss

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yachtsman Pete Goss, MBE, has clocked up 250,000 nautical miles (460,000 km) at sea.

He is famous for his pioneering project Team Philips. He received a Legion d'Honneur for saving fellow sailor Raphael Dinelli in the 1996 Vendée Globe solo around the world yacht race during a severe storm in the Southern Ocean.

He trained the original set of amateur crews for the British Steel Challenge, and competed in the race onboard Hoffbräu Lager, coming 3rd overall.

Pete currently lives in near Plymouth in Cornwall, and has three children Alex (19), Livvy (17) and Eliot (13). Pete is building a boat called The Spirit of Mystery from scratch with his brother Andy. The leftovers of some of a cake bought in The Old Boatstore cafe in Kingsand are visible in the celebrity leftovers cabinet in the cafe. (Source: Livvy Goss)
