Tony’s first time sailing was almost 30 years ago at the annual Cowes Week regattas off the Isle of Wight. Fast forward to 2022, having enjoyed some wonderful ocean sailing adventures over the years, he applied to crew on the Clipper Round the World Race. Join us to learn about Tony’s 18-month training and preparation journey: from being a basic-level crew to gaining the skills, knowledge, and confidence needed to race non-stop over thousands of nautical miles in the 2025-26 edition of the Clipper Round the World Race.
