Ce que couvre cette vidéo

Carlos Cuadrado, a former professional tennis player, completed a four-year circumnavigation aboard his 12-meter ketch, *Mirni Ocean*. After career-ending hip injuries at age 25 triggered an identity crisis, Cuadrado sought a personal reset through offshore sailing. He spent six months refitting the vessel for ocean passages before departing from Melbourne, Australia. His route followed the trade winds westward, including stops in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Madagascar. During the voyage, he navigated solo across the Atlantic, completing a 12-day passage to Saint Helena and a 27-day leg to the Caribbean. Cuadrado draws parallels between the problem-solving required for ocean sailing and the mental discipline of elite tennis, documenting these experiences in his book, *Un rival impredecible*. He currently resides in Australia and works as a tennis coach, though he plans to return to cruising with his family in the future. The vessel retains its original name, *Mirni Ocean*, to avoid the perceived bad luck associated with renaming boats.
