Ronnie Simpson - Yacht Racing and Open Ocean Adventures

In 2024 both Ronnie Simpson and Bryan Fuller had an ocean
adventure. Ronnie was solo sailing in a race around the world.
Bryan doing one of the only Atlantic crossings from Boston to
London in a rowboat. Neither event is simple or easy. Both men are
experts. Each mission failed...and both boats were abandoned during
their attempts. Bryan and Ronnie don't know one another, yet, they
have much in commo. Ronnie returns for his second visit to the
Break It Down Show with Pete A Turner. With Bryan Fuller the
founder of Boarder Rowers and Power Rowing of Brookline Mass.
Ronnie Simpson is a 39-year-old professional racing sailor from the
United States of America who aims to sail in the 2028 Vendee Globe.
Recently, Ronnie was the skipper of the Open 50 Shipyard Brewing
which competed in the first-ever Global Solo Challenge in 2023-24.
Sailing in a strong third place for most of the race, Ronnie
unfortunately dismasted off of Argentina in February 2024 and
Shipyard Brewing was lost at sea. Having completed 80% of a
singlehanded racing circumnavigation and rounding all of the three
great capes including Cape Horn, Ronnie’s resolve to race the
Vendee Globe is now only stronger.
