Bekking leads Team Childhood in St. Maarten
The Ocean Race veteran has assembled a top crew to tackle a Caribbean classic...
Bouwe Bekking, a veteran of eight campaigns in The Ocean Race, has pulled together a top crew to take on the St. Maarten Heineken Regatta later this week.
Two of his former comrades in previous editions of The Ocean Race, Pablo Arrarte and Jens Dolmer will be with him on the VO65 boat, while young gun Simbad Quiroga, from Spain, will work the bow.
Quiroga was born and raised at sea, on board the former Whitbread ketch Fisher & Paykel, and has his sights set on competing in the 2021-22 edition of The Ocean Race.
