About Robert Rosen Jacobson
Who
Rosen Jacobson is an adventurist in its purest form, who has learned what it means to solve most of the challenging problems. He finished in October 2009 as 7th of the 211 so called “coureurs” in the Class Mini year ranking. Despite only a preparation, training, qualification time of 11 months. Despite his age: twice as old as the mean age of the participating “coureurs”, skippers. As a result of the success of Rosen Jacobson and his Team, the project will be extended with at least 2 years. The name: PROJECT 2012.
The race
One month alone on two Oceans, without any help from third parties, more than normal basic, physical and mental tough conditions and primitive circumstances, without communication with shore. Alone in your boat, alone in the world. The Race is being sailed in the smallest and fastest Trans-Ocean Class, the Mini Transat 6.50, only 6,50 meter long (21 feet), nicknamed Pocket Rockets. A Race which ever was forbidden because of the dangers involved. In such a framework, without noise and concealment, final and crystal clear lessons are being learned.
The what and how for which audience
Rosen Jacobson presents the reasons, the organization, his experiences as Trans Ocean Single Handed Racer and what he learned on a personal level from this extreme Trans-Atlantic isolated experience. If requested for, the end of January ready movie about this unique subject can be presented. His goal is to take (top) management and teams, who are swimming around with a problem or issue, into his story. The essence of his successful project and Trans-Atlantic racing, offers parallels for successfully running a business or organization. It supports us to find solutions for problems and current issues. After that we can talk about the core of things, not anymore in a distorted way. This is for management and individuals who want to open themselves for that.
