Ian is a Chartered Accountant by profession and has loved sailing since he was 7 years old.
Then, in the early part of 1977, he saw an advert in the Times asking for volunteers to crew
Great Britain II in a sailing race around the world via Cape Horn. He was hooked.
Along with 15 others he enrolled for the adventure. Each paid £4,000 towards the cost
of entering the huge yacht ‘Great Britain II’ into the second Whitbread Round the World
Race. This is the story of that race.
