Professional sailor Gwen Riou (left) sits on watch with sailor "Tiger" Teng Jiang at the helm at sunrise onboard VOR70 Maserati while sailing 5,500nm (20 days) from Honolulu, HI to Subic Bay, Phillipines. As the only female amongst a crew of seven men, hailing from six different countries living for twenty days aboard a lightweight, bare-bones boat built for racing instead of comfort, I was able to capture a lighter and more playful side of these rugged offshore sailors.
