Who he is: Best known by his childhood family nickname of 'Chuny', he is one of Spain’s most famous ocean racers. His tally of six Volvo Ocean Races over 25 years, including a spectacular win with Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing in the 2014-15 edition, has earned him a well-deserved place in the race’s history books. Onboard the boat, Chuny’s obsession for maximum performance means he can never sit still as he constantly trims and tweaks the sails in an effort to squeeze out every last drop of boat speed.
