Ross Hubbard, a seasoned sailor from sunny California, is all set to participate in the Global Solo Challenge 2027-2028. This determined sailor is not a newcomer to the world of solo sailing. With decades of experience under his belt, Hubbard is ready to transform his lifelong dream into a thrilling reality.
The call of adventure was instilled in Hubbard at the tender age of 11 when he first discovered the National Geographic series chronicling Robin Lee Graham’s remarkable solo circumnavigation aboard the vessel Dove. That gripping series gave Hubbard a glimpse into a life he yearned for - that of an ocean adventurer.
Effortlessly merging style and performance, the illustrious Wally 93 sailing yacht, Bullitt, is now ready to set sail under new ownership. Constructed by the esteemed Ferretti Group and delivered in 2018, Bullitt is a masterpiece in international maxi-class racing. Meticulously constructed in unidirectional carbon fibre, this yacht stands as a testament to the ambitious creations of Italian designer Luca Bassani and famous naval architects Judel/Vrolijk & Co.
Taking the essence of yacht racing to the next level, Bullitt features a remarkably light volume of just 35GT, designed to maximize racing efficiency. The innovative and futuristic design has bagged Bullitt notable podium finishes at prestigious regattas such as the RORC Nelson Cup, the North Sound Maxi Regatta BVI, and the Rolex Maxi World Championship YCCS.
