Barcelona World Race - Hugo Boss Arrives in Style

If you can't come in first, come in fashion. Hugo Boss finished the Barcelona World Race in second place on Valentine's Day, with skippers Alex Thomson and Andrew Cape pulling up to the pontoon dressed immaculately in Hugo Boss suits: “We’re really happy to be here to see everybody,” said Alex Thomson, moments after Hugo Boss pulled alongside the pontoon. “We’ve had great fun – it was a lot of hard work, but good fun as well.”
