Life at the extreme: An investigation into the experiences of professional sailors competing in a fully crewed around the world ocean race. $49.99 This research used a qualitative exploratory approach to investigate the experiences of professional sailors who competed in a fully crewed around-the-world race known as the 2005/06 Volvo Ocean Race (VOR). Specifically, the following areas were examined: (a) the various environmental, technical, and interpersonal demands that make the VOR an extreme sport, (b) the impact of these demands on the sailors’ performances, (c) the strategies used by the sailors to maintain high levels of performance, and (d)the sailors’ reasons for competing in the race.;Participants were 15 professional sailors, ranging in age from 23-49 years (M age = 35.9 years; SD = 7.4), who competed in the 2005/06 VOR.

Three interviews were completed via telephone. All interviews were transcribed verbatim. Each transcript was then analysed through an inductive open coding process.;Data analysis revealed nine major themes (Background, Skiffs on Steroids, Boat Breakdowns, Managing Self, Pressure, Tragedy, Extreme, Team , and Reflecting) with associated subthemes, and three dimensions (Resonance, Edgework, and Performance Capacities) with associated subdimensions. A framework for understanding the experiences of the sailors was conceived in the form of a model depicting the dimensions of resonance (a passion for adventure and the VOR in particular), edgework (a desire and ability to perform in high-risk, life threatening situations), and performance capacities (team, individual, and boat). The model suggests an |
