Pete Goss, MBE is a British yachtsman who has sailed more than 250,000 nautical miles. A former Royal Marine, he is famous for his pioneering project Team Philips. He was invested in the Legion d'Honneur for saving fellow sailor Rapha�l Dinelli in the 1996 Vend�e 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 his own yacht had sunk. Dinelli is said to have come aboard clutching a bottle of champagne. He trained the original set of amateur crews for the British Steel Challenge, and competed in the race on board Hoffbr�u Lager, coming 3rd overall. Goss currently lives in Torpoint, Cornwall, and has three teenage children: Alex, Livvy and Eliot. In June 2008, Goss launched a replica of a 19th-century wooden lugger called Spirit of Mystery. Four months later, he began a voyage from Cornwall to Australia on the boat, which has no modern electrical or navigation systems.
