Some of his greatest achievements include winning the Fastnet race, winning the Sydney-Hobart Race and in 2001 he was part of the Blue Yankee team that won the IMS Block Island Race Week and North American Offshore Championships.

Why you joined TEAMORIGIN:
“As a sailor it is one of my dreams to win the America’s Cup and even more so to do it with a British team. Sir Keith and Mike look to have put together a formidable challenge and I did not hesitate when asked whether I would like to be a part of the team that is looking to make America’s Cup history.”
