Austrian sailor Michael Guggenberger aka Captain Gugg finished third in the Golden Globe Race 2022, behind Kirsten Neuschäfer (South Africa) and Commander Abhilash Tomy (India). He is reportedly only the second Austrian to complete a solo, non-stop circumnavigation.
His finish in the Golden Globe Race voyage will remain one of the greatest achievements by an extraordinary Indian who fought for his opportunity to sail around the world.
