Taking part in the Clipper 07-08 Round the World Yacht race is realising an ambition I had when I first set sail in a yacht in 2003, says John. After a week of sailing out of Plymouth I knew I wanted to sail the oceans of the world. It felt impossible at the time, now I know it’s possible, I just need to do it.
