A 25-year-old Swiss-New Zealand sailor, Rebecca Gmuer Hornell embodies the new generation of ultra-versatile sailors, capable of sailing at a high level while mastering the technical aspects of the most demanding boats. From Sydney-Hobart to Fastnet, via the Caribbean 600 and even an all-female transatlantic race in MOD70, Rebecca has been brilliantly stringing together international campaigns.
A professional rigger with more than six years of experience both on land and at sea, and a solid track record from the Pacific to the Atlantic, she joins the Swiss Offshore Team for the third and fourth legs of The Ocean Race Europe.
