Mandy Brown

Age 46, Senior Lecturer

A senior lecturer in management at the University of Hull, Mandy had only ever been on a yacht a few times before getting caught by the Clipper bug. Here’s how she ended up as a round the worlder on Durban 2010. “In November in 2006, although having been in a job that I enjoy and had been doing for 12 years, I felt that life needing shaking up a little and it was time to face new challenge, so I had decided to take a 3 month career break in 2008.

I was sitting at my desk trying to decide what to do with the time. My only criteria were that I should learn a new skill and travel. Literally, as I was listing and crossing off options, into my inbox appeared an email seeking crew for the Hull & Humber Clipper – a Eureka moment. Timing, serendipity, whatever its name – this has meant that the career break is now for ten months and that I will be sailing all the oceans – the Great Blues.”

Now resident in East Yorkshire, Mandy lived in South Africa for two and a half years working on development projects in the ten southern African countries, worked for three months as a volunteer with street children in Bogotá, Columbia, and travels regularly to Singapore, Hong Kong and the Middle East to teach Hull University’s MBA programme.
