| JUSTIN SLATTERY |
Year of Birth:1974
Nationality: Irish
Role:Bowman
Justin, 33 from Cork in Ireland, began sailing aged 17, after deciding to take a Yachting Management course by chance. He hasn't looked back since, clocking up an extensive CV of sailing achievements which goes a long way to show why this talented sailor was high on TEAMORIGIN's wish list.
Justin has won some of yachting's most prestigious trophies. Last year, he sailed as bowman on ABN Amro One, playing a crucial role in their dominance of the 2005-2006 Volvo Ocean Race. Two years previously, he smashed the non-stop round the world record as part of Steve Fossett's crew on Cheyenne and this summer he followed it up by breaking the record for the famous Fastnet Race onboard ICAP Leopard. At the tender age of 23, he held the trans-Atlantic record on Nicorette.
His talents spread well beyond those required at the bow of the boat, a talented all-rounder, he will bring expertise in rigging and rig management as well as being a capable trimmer.
