Vital Alsar

Local nameCarabelas de Vital Alsar
LocationSantander, Spain

Vital Alsar Ramírez was a sailor and scientist who made several extremely long sailing expeditions.

His entire life was linked to nature and the sea. He became professor of economics, although he never acted as such.

During his Military service in Morocco, Alsar read a book about the Kon-Tiki, the expedition that Thor Heyerdahl conducted in a balsa raft on the Pacific. Reading this account led to his interest in duplicating the feat, to sailing 3,770 nautical miles.
