8 Tons of Carbon Fiber Yacht, and a Crazy Dude in a Suit [VIDEO]

Alex Thomson attempts what he calls ‘The Keel Walk’, on board his 60ft yacht ‘HUGO BOSS’.

Alex is a professional yachtsman with two world records under his belt.  At age 25, he was the youngest skipper ever to win a round the world race in the 1998/1999 Clipper Round the World Race, a record he still holds today.

Hugo Boss is a 60-foot carbon fiber yacht designed for single-handed, round-the-world offshore racing in the Vendee Globe Challenge.  She was designed by legendary naval architect Juan Kouyoumdjian, and is significantly more powerful than any other vessels in her class.
