My heartfelt condolences to Simon Speirs’ wife and family. We as a Dare To Lead crew held a service in solidarity for you. Andy Burns and crew, our thoughts are with you and we grieve as a Clipper Race family for your loss. Many an honourable man has ventured into the rugged Southern Ocean and lost it all in a pursuit to truly live. Simon, your name joins those who dared it all. RIP. Dale
