Biography
Matteo Sericano is an Italian offshore sailor and skipper, driven by a competitive spirit, curiosity and deep respect for the sea. Having moved from dinghies to inshore racing and then offshore, he combines speed, strategy and resilience in every mile sailed. Off the boat, he stands out in a different way: he holds a degree in philosophy, so he perhaps likes to think as hard as he sails fast.
