Conrad Colman was born in Auckland, New Zealand, to an American father and a New Zealand mother. He spent the first months of his life at sea while his parents sailed the Pacific.
Often referred to as the “Crazy Kiwi” for his fiery and passionate nature, Conrad is a determined sailor who stays true to his values. His passion for the sea and pushing himself to the limit has enabled him to complete four circumnavigations of the globe, including two Vendée Globe without using fossil fuels, a cause close to his heart. Ahead of aiming for another Vendée Globe in 2028, his current goal is to compete in the next ‘The Ocean Race’, a crewed round-the-world race with New Zealand sailors, in 2027, having co-founded the new team Aotearoa Ocean Racing
