Sponsor Information:
OceanPlanet Energy Inc: providing clients anywhere in the world with the best marine energy storage and charging systems.
Bruce Schwab is a lifelong marine services professional and two-time solo circumnavigator. As an adolescent he spent two years cruising with his father and brothers. Afterwards, settling in Northern
California he led the
Rigging Shop at Svendsens
Marine from 1981 to 2000. During this time he restored his 1930 30sq Meter “Rumbleseat” (now based in Tortola as “Diva”).
After winning many crewed, double-handed, and solo sailing races, including the 1996 Singlehanded Transpac aboard Rumbleseat, he retired from Svendsens to oversee the design & building of the all-American Open 60 OceanPlanet. After completing his first
circumnavigation in the 2002/2003 Around Alone
Race, he came to
Portland,
Maine to
refit OceanPlanet for the 2004/2005 Vendee Globe
Race (solo, nonstop, around the world). On February 25, 2005, Bruce became the first American in
history to officially finish the Vendee Globe, and currently holds the American solo
circumnavigation record of 109 days and 20 hours.
Since then he has devoted himself to providing clients anywhere in the world with the best
marine energy
storage and
charging systems. Now living in the mid-coast town of Woolwich,
Maine, Bruce is an avid bicycle
racer and regularly plays his collection of acoustic guitars.
