Introducing... our man out on the first leg
Tuesday, 15 September 2009
As official sail suppliers for the Clipper Round the World Race, Hyde will be bringing you news from around the world as the Clipper fleet undertakes its arduous journey.
As well as support staff at each stopover, joining Cape Breton Island in La Rochelle is Tom Gruitt, who will be sharing his experiences of the first leg throughout the journey to Rio de Janerio, Brazil.
Tom, a photographer from Plymouth in Devon, is keen sailor of dinghies and keelboats - recently in particular B14s, although he's even been seen sailing a foiling Moth! In fact, he's keen to give pretty much anything a go, including ocean racing. With Tom's help we'll be able to follow some of his experiences in the build up to the race, and see the first leg through his eyes... which will include his first transatlantic crossing.
