I feel comfortable at all position on board, from bow woman to navigation. I really much enjoy my last participation on this race 4 years ago and would really much like to reciprocate. I am easy going and active on board. Please do not hesitate to contact me for further details. Juliette Bataille |

| 20th April 2022 | Jonathan Sutton | jonathansutton79#gmail.com | 0872181930 | I have been sailing from a young age and am now in my early 40s. I have sailed competitively at a junior level in 420s and at a senior level on hunter formula ones, quarter tonners and larger 40+ft boats. I have experience in all areas on a boat having skippered my own boat for years and being in both the sailing trim and foredeck role on boats for years.

| 21st April 2022 | Sam Cooper | 003.sjc#gmail.com | 07964516214 | I am an experienced offshore sailor with thousands of ocean miles, many as the Mate. Much of my experience is on big boats (65' plus) and I enjoy the challenge of working as part of a crew to race effectively and safely. At some time I have been in most positions on board without ever really specialising in one and so I am comfortable jumping in where needed and taking advice and learning quickly. Probably I am a little rusty, as since the pandemic began my sailing has been little and not so often. Previously I worked in sail training and as a Deck Officer in the Merchant Navy, but since 2020 I have retrained and now work ashore. Summary of experience: - Yachtmaster Offshore (commercially endorsed + STCW) - 2x Atlantic crossings - South Africa to Australia - a number of shorter offshore races (RORC & JOG) in the North Sea and the Channel - extensive inshore racing and dinghy racing experience I am available for the race and should be (fingers crossed) in a position to join for any training ahead of the start too. Thank you for your consideration! |
