Christian Scherrer is one of Switzerland's most successful professional sailors. He was part of the Alinghi team in New Zealand in 2003, when Switzerland became a sailing nation. He took part in a total of four America's Cup campaigns. In 30 years as a professional sailor, the man from Winterthur has been through just about everything you can experience on the high seas.
An example from the toughest race in the world (sailing round the globe): «The worst was in the southern seas near the South Pole. It was very cold, damp and the wind was icy. You don't jump for joy when you have to get back into your wet clothes and go outside after only three hours' sleep.»
