About
A New Zealand skipper living in France since 2007, Conrad took part in the Mini Transat in 2009, the Route du Rhum in 2010 in a Class40, then the Global Ocean Race in 2011 and 2012. He won this round the world race before focusing on his Vendée Globe goal. In 2016, he became the first Kiwi to complete the legendary round-the-world race, as well as the first skipper to finish without using fossil fuels. After narrowly missing out on the 2020 event, he is now aiming for the 2024 competition.
