Sitting down with Pete Goss

In this edition of Shirley Robertson’s Sailing Podcast, the conversation is joined by British offshore adventurer Pete Goss, an accomplished offshore sailor famed for executing one of the bravest solo ocean rescues of all time.
Talking at his home in the south west corner of the UK, Robertson and Goss kick their discussion off with chat about his formative years, his time in the British Marines, and how, in the 1990s, he found a love of offshore sailing.
During Chay Blyth’s British Steel Challenge, a round the world yacht race that was the forbearer to today’s amateur offshore circumnavigation events, Goss was an instructor and skipper on the first event. It was during that time, he hatched a plan to enter the 1996-97 Vendee Globe, the legendary non-stop solo offshore race which was also in it’s infancy.
As one of the first British entrants in the then famously French race, Goss’ tales of pre-internet sponsorship gathering are inspiring, and with a new boat, he managed to make the start line, for the third running of the race. What followed was one of the most brutal editions the Vendee Globe has ever seen.
Of the sixteen boats that crossed the start line, just six finished. Tragically, one competitor, Canadian Gerry Roufs was lost at sea, but it was the rescue of French sailor Raphael Dinelli that for several days between Christmas and New Year 1996, was headline news around the world.
Pete’s telling of the rescue, his memories of the vicious storm in the deep south, and his fight to find Dinelli’s rapidly sinking boat are compelling. At times emotional, Goss describes how he first heard the mayday while himself fighting for survival in the relentless storm, and how his radio comms with the Royal Australian Airforce eventually led him to the boat.
Recalled Goss, “The plane that had dropped him a raft came down to me, and they came up on the VHF so I remember chatting to them, and I said ‘How many people are involved’, because I was still seventy miles away or whatever, ‘how many people are involved in the rescue’, and he just said ‘It’s you!'”
With guidance from the Royal Australian Airforce plane, Goss found Dinelli’s life raft and in a heaving swell, somehow effected the rescue of a near death Raphael Dinelli. He had arrived just in time.
“I met the pilot and the navigator (of the RAAF plane) a year later at the boat show,” noted Goss, “and from the air they saw this figure clamber into the raft and then the boat just ghosted away and disappeared underneath it.”
It’s an emotional and intense telling of a remarkable story, that continues into the second part of this two part podcast, as Goss sails on, determined to finish his Vendee Globe.
His return saw him awarded an MBE from Her Majesty the Queen, and the Legion d’Honneur by then French President Jacques Chirac. Undeterred, Goss immediately launched his next project, taking part in Bruno Peyron’s ambitious concept, “The Race”.
To take on the no-rules round the world challenge, Goss built one of the most futuristic race boats the sport had ever seen. His insights into the project, and the theories behind his Team Philips multihull are fascinating.
With an educational division and a free visitors’ center that saw over 1.2million visitors, his pride in the project is clear to see. Sadly, just weeks before the New Year start of The Race, the project abruptly ended, after the catastrophic loss of the catamaran in a violent North Atlantic storm.
Throughout his career, Goss has embarked on a multitude of groundbreaking projects, and while this edition sees him concentrate on two of his more famous endeavors, he also discusses the delightful “Spirit of Mystery” project, a challenge born from Cornish folk lore that ended up in the recreation of one of the bravest offshore navigations of the 1800s.

No changes to the design of Goss’s catamaran
- April 12, 2000
The latest news straight from Team Philips:
Pete Goss has announced that Team Philips, his revolutionary 120 ft catamaran, would be repaired without altering Adrian Thompson’s original design concept and on the start line of The RACE in Barcelona on 31st December 2000.
The carbon fibre yacht, which on Wednesday 29th March lost the port bow just North of the Isles of Scilly, was rescued in a huge effort by the team and the assistance of many, particularly the RNLI, Royal Navy and the Isles of Scilly. Within just 48 hours of the disaster Team Philips was stabilised and under tow for Dartmouth, Devon arriving on Saturday 1st April to a tremendous welcome, a mountain of cards and gifts of support.
“What happened and why has been on everyone’s lips since the day we returned. The good news is that we have sailed the boat for over 1,000 miles and can say in full confidence that Adrian Thompson’s radical concept has lived up to all expectations. We can repair her and she will be a boat to watch in The RACE,” said Pete Goss, her skipper.
At the Isles of Scilly, an immediate process to identify the cause and remedy of the failure was set in motion with the firm directive being to take clear logical steps and not to be rushed. Due diligence also includes a survey, once she is back in the factory, of the entire structure to ensure that there are no other areas of concern.
SP Technologies, the structural engineers for the hulls, immediately set out to find a theoretical reason for the failure. This was in parallel with a practical survey which has included taking core samples of the hull. A clear and safe path ahead has been found.
Adrian Thompson, Team Philips’ designer reports: “The breaking of the bow section has been identified as a failure of the unidirectional carbon strakes (strip) that runs the length of each side of each hull. These strakes, which are about 500mm wide and 6mm thick are manufactured as part of the inside skin of the sandwich structure of the hull. The strakes are subject to an end load (compression) and a tensile load (tension). The successful loading of this area is wholly reliant on a satisfactory adhesion of the strake to the Nomex core used in the sandwich structure.
“Successful bonding of thick carbon laminates to Nomex core has not been problem free in the past due to difficulty of removing air which expands during the high temperature cure cycle. To overcome this production methods were advised by the material manufacturers to enhance the bleed of air from the cells within the Nomex core thereby enabling a complete bond between the carbon skins and the core material.
“The core samples have revealed that it is the expanding air that has caused the carbon strakes not to have bonded to the Nomex core and are therefore unable to accept the end load applied without buckling. Fortunately this is a problem unique to this area of each hull and is therefore a regrettable, but isolated problem.
“As with any in-depth investigation where significant resource is used to establish the failure mode, the wisdom of loading a thin strake stabilised in this way has been questioned. Further surveys with the boat in the factory and design work will define the detail of the solution which is likely to be based on more conventional composite frames or or stringers.”
“We are, as a team, as shocked as anyone that this happened”, added Pete Goss, Team Philips’ skipper. “Particularly as we have all been so diligent in our approach. The fact is that we are working at the cutting edge of composite development where lessons are sometimes learned.
“It is easy to be a good team when you’re on top, but what counts is when you are at the bottom of the valley. Ours was a big valley and everyone to an individual within the project has rallied from sponsors to designers and builders. This programme to fix the boat is established and the funding is now in place for the repair.

Pete Goss’s new boat on Tomorrow’s World
- Elaine Bunting
- May 17, 1999
TV programme gets under the skin of the revolutionary British contender for The Race round the world
British yachtsman Pete Goss’s giant catamaran, currently in build in Devon, will feature on the BBC’s Tomorrow’s World programme on Wednesday evening and on the following Wednesday, 26 May. The two features are part of the coverage of the boat’s progress over the next two years, culminating in The Race, the no-limits race round the world at the end of 2000.
In the next two weeks’ programmes, Tomorrow’s World’s presenter, Peter Snow, will look at the concept of the boat and the ideas of her designer, Adrian Thompson. Rig trials and the tank testing that are being used to prove this radical boat are also featured, as is the science of physical fitness training and the technological advances being made in the clothing the crew will wear.
Pete Goss’s boat is mid-way through building in Totnes, with one hull and the central pod already complete. Elements of the boat will be put together in the autumn in time for her launch in mid-January next year. After only a couple of months of sea trials, Pete Goss and his crew will set off on a Jules Verne non-stop round the world record attempt in March or April 2000 – what they are calling “a sort of shakedown” for The Race.

2021 was gifted texture with the construction of our next boat ‘Oddity’. The basic design had been signed off and she essentially ‘went live’ with a fortuitous deal on 1.4 tonnes of lead from the breaking of a local boat. I’m pleased to report she is on schedule for launch in spring and with that in mind I am starting the Oddity blog .
Tracey has chosen the hull colour and bought a colourful mix of soft furnishings to match. In truth it was the other way round and I can’t think of a better reference for Oddity is to be a home from home. A centre of gravity about which the family and grand children can orbit. A fun refuge from social media where we can share the wider world through the eclectic joys of nomadic cruising. A kit bag of life lessons where individuality, teamwork, self reliance and responsibility are paramount.
‘Oddity’ will be a mongrel for she is a mix of past boats. I use the word mongrel with a sense of endearment for Tracey and I have spent many happy hours making her fit for this next chapter in our lives. She will undoubtedly be an outcast when it comes to the homogenised production boats of today. That said, I prefer to think she will become a loyal, lovable scruff that will readily adapt to our eclectic needs for years to come.
At thirty two feet she is a tough little bugger of ply/epoxy construction with a commercial rubbing strake for access to remote fishing docks. Although ocean capable her brief is explore the coast, upper reaches, rivers and canals of Europe. We want to probe beyond the present tide line of cruising congestion and wriggle our way into unspoiled nooks and crannies.
She will draw three feet and dry out on a wide 10mm steel shoe that runs her length. After ‘Pearl’ we could never go to sea without a large pilothouse that shares the beauty of an anchorage as we potter below. Too small to lose both a centreboard and engine under the pilothouse floor we have opted for a couple of canted daggerboards. These will draw six foot when down and can be used as stabilisers when drying out on uneven ground. Twin rudders will be transom hung with a partial keg for protection and directional stability.
The rig is designed to be dropped remotely to transform her from an ocean going yacht into a river boat. First and foremost she is a sailing boat so we have opted for a powerful gaff rig which enables all the spars to remain within the boat length. The mast will have a high pivot point and lower into a saddle on the cockpit arch such that when stowed it all be above the cockpit Bimini. The cockpit arch will also carry solar panels, a dinghy hoist and SuperWind 350 wind generator.
So there you have it, we shall be sailing a boat called ‘Oddity’ with a dinghy called ‘Quirky’. Not quite sure what that says about us but hopefully it will promote an interesting and non conformist life.
I hope you enjoy the blog. Click here
