In 2014 he became the first and only Spanish to win a transoceanic single-handed race, the legendary Route du Rhum. ==Early life== Alex was born in Barcelona on the 2nd of November 1972, within a nautical environment and a sailing family. Second of four brothers, who have all made boats and sailing their profession, he began to sail as a very young boy aboard his family’s yacht. To date, Alex has sailed on all kinds of racing boats, from the light Mini Transat 6.50 to the most sophisticated Maxi-Trimarans. Alex has been a professional sailor for over 10 years, in which he has completed more than 150.000 nautical miles. He discovered his passion for offshore single-handed sailing at the end of the 90’s while preparing two Spanish boats for the Solitaire du Figaro.

He was third in 2003 and second in 2005, winning the long leg from the Canary Islands to Brazil. He thus became the first and only Spanish to win a leg in a transoceanic solo race.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Pella takes leg two of the Mini Transat, while Corentin Douguet is the decisive winner )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alex Pella」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
