Hisayasu Jin

Age 59, Naval Architect

Hisayasu will just have celebrated his 60th birthday when he takes part in the Clipper 07-08 Round the World Yacht Race and has been inspired by the progress of his countryman, Kojiro Shiraishi, who finished in second place in the solo VELUX 5 OCEANS event. When one of Hisayasu’s daughters saw an advert for the Clipper Race at a London Tube station, she told her father, an experienced sailor who lives in Funabashi-Shi, Japan, that he too could take part in some serious ocean racing and he had no hesitation in signing up.

“Sailing has been a big part of my life for 40 years and it has been my dream to sail across an ocean,” says Hisayasu, a naval architect and ship surveyor. Born in Sendai, Japan, Hisayasu lived in London for several years. “I’m familiar with working in an international environment, so I don’t think it will be too hard getting on with people from other countries who’ll be with me on the boat,” he says. “As long as my English can be understood, I think it will be good fun!”
