1 Circumnavigation, 10 ocean racing yachts, 40,000 miles, 15 races, 13 countries... Sounds like a challenge to me!
So what's this all about?
About two years ago, I saw an advert for the Clipper 11-12 Round the World yacht race - I have always loved sailing and it has always been a dream of mine to compete in an around the world race, experiencing the thrills associated with sailing in the world's most challenging oceans. Initially I signed up to sail in 2 of the 8 legs, however, after taking part in the first training week I soon realised that 2 legs was not going to be enough and that I wanted to take on the whole race.
I think it is easily going to be the hardest thing I have ever done – but that is definitely part of the appeal for me – I want to challenge myself and find out what I am capable of!

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
