Nabil W Amra
Nabil is an American based Palestinian who began sailing 6 years ago on Lake Calhoun near Minneapolis, Minnesota. Last year, he sailed a catamaran with a friend across the Caribbean and through the Panama Canal. The foreign exchange trader says: "The effect on me was so profound that I began to look for a blue-water boat of my own and bought a Contessa 32 based in St. Maarten.
My salt water journey is just beginning! Now I'm preparing to start a new chapter in my life that has more to do with adventure. The Golden Globe Race came along at just the right time to turn an incessant daydream into reality!"
