The Human Behind The Sailor
In her podcast "The Human Behind The Sailor", Rosalin Kuiper takes you into the minds of skippers who take part in the toughest sailing races in the world, such as the Vendée Globe or The Ocean Race. Because ocean sailing is a tough business - but behind every sailor is a human being who encounters the vastness of the horizon, loneliness, storms - and challenges that could never have been anticipated.
This podcast dives deep into the personal stories, motivations, fears and mental strategies of these extraordinary sailors.
Host Rosalin Kuiper, professional sailor and skipper of Team Holcim-PRB, talks to inspiring personalities such as Boris Herrmann, Clarisse Crémer, Cole Brauer and Yoann Richomme about the intense challenges of ocean sailing - from physical exhaustion and mental lows to overwhelming emotions and memorable moments.
This year, Rosalin herself will lead Team Holcim-PRB in The Ocean Race Europe - bringing all her own experience of leadership, team dynamics and mental strength to the table. It is precisely this human side behind the sailing legends that makes "The Human Behind The Sailor" so special - honest, approachable and inspiring.
“Behind every sailor, race, and record is a human. I love discovering that side – what drives them, uncovering their raw emotions, personal challenges, and their true mindset.”

For example, Boris reports on how he dealt with one of the toughest situations for a solo sailor during the Vendée Globe: being stuck in a dead calm while the competition sailed on. He tells how he managed to turn frustration into gratitude and find new strength in even the smallest progress.

Interview with Rosalin:
Cole Brauer
First American woman to sail solo around the world; Team Malizia
Cole talks openly about the time after her historic solo race and the unexpectedly dark moments she experienced. She reflects on where these feelings came from, how she fought through the mental void after such a big adventure and what strategies helped her to regain her balance. Her story impressively shows that true mental strength is not only required during the race, but above all afterwards.
Yoann provides exciting insights into his very conscious approach to mental preparation. He explains how important it is for him to set clear goals and how this structure gives him stability - especially in the emotionally charged moments at the start. He also talks about how he finds the balance between his passion for technology, his sporting ambition and his family life.
