Full time career airline pilot Ari Huusela will return to his job flying long haul with FinnAir after his Vendée Globe. The solo racer from Finland is putting his desire to finish as his top priority as he seeks to realise a dream of more than 20 years. Huusela has been to five Vendée Globe starts. This time he is a starter, racing STARK, the Owen Clarke design which has two laps of the planet already as Dee Caffari’s Aviva and Gaes Centros Auditivos. He says he will do all he physically can to maintain his 100% record finishing all the ocean races he has started.
