Seamanship

Team Emily took part in the 100th edition of the Rolex Fastnet Race on the Hanse 470 ‘Magic Time’. Following this event Richard was awarded the Seamanship Award by the race organisers; the Royal Ocean Racing Club.

Richard coordinated a search and rescue operation for an MOB from a Swedish yacht which was close by.

Rolex Fastnet Crew 2025 – Testimonial – Carl Lamb

“Richard – What a race! The 2025 Fastnet was everything we expected — tough, wild, and completely unforgettable in more ways than one ! I’m so glad we took it on together along with our fellow crew members.

There were some serious challenges out there, but your calm focus and solid skippering made all the difference. Couldn’t have asked for a better person to be out there with — we worked hard, laughed together as a crew , and made it through in one piece

Thanks for the adventure, the grit, and the good company. Let’s raise a glass to an epic race — and start planning for our future adventures both now & beyond.”
