I'll always be on hand to pull or winch the ropes!

IF I WIN A RACE PLACE, WHAT COULD MY CREW MATES EXPECT FROM ME?
REASON NUMBER 12:
They could expect to rely on me.
To rely on me to consistently work hard, to rely on me to be keep in good spirits when the going gets tough, to support others in their tasks, to try my best day in, day out. I’m also good at making tea and coffees while at sea…
PLEASE VOTE HERE!
REASON NUMBER 11:
I made a trip to the Henri Lloyd Flagship store in Manchester to gain support for my application! Here I am with the very friendly store manager. Great shop, great people, great opportunity.
Thanks Henri Lloyd for the competition!
PLEASE VOTE HERE!
REASON NUMBER 10:
I am happy on all types of boats. Here I am at the front of a Tall Ship sailing around the Balearics!
PLEASE VOTE HERE!
REASON NUMBER 9:
I embrace new challenges - such as learning to canoe here in London with my friends! Embracing new challenges would no doubt be important while learning to sail oceans!
PLEASE VOTE HERE!
PLEASE VOTE HERE!
What is my motivation for entering this competition?
REASON NUMBER 8:
Have you ever heard the saying that 'when one door closes, another one opens’? You may be like me; while I’d heard this phrase many times, I’d yet to experience it myself. Well, at least until yesterday, when the metaphorical opening door slammed me right in the face: I came across this competition to win a potentially life-changing place aboard the famous Clipper Races! What door has closed for me? In just over two weeks, at the end of February, I will be taking redundancy from work. In the current economic climate, it would be easy to see this as a negative development (to say the least!). However, instead, I am determined to work hard to turn it into a golden opportunity. An opportunity to escape the corporate rat race, to develop who I am through a series of challenging adventures and to come back with a different perspective on life So, how did I know another door had opened? This was a bit easier- competing in the Clipper Races has been a dream of mine for the last four years. Why? The Clipper Races have always stood out to me as a chance to pursue my lifelong passions for adventure, challenges and meeting new people. Furthermore, I love interacting with social media and would love to share the experience with a wider audience, given the chance. However, the normal cost of the trip makes it a very difficult financial decision for someone without employment. Therefore, the competition is the perfect chance! So maybe when one door closes, another really does open. Fingers crossed that I’ve found the right door.
PLEASE VOTE HERE!
REASON NUMBER 7:
I love hard adventures that push you physically and mentally. As per my application I cycled from John O Groat's to Land's End with my friend in 2012. It was not an easy task and we encountered several major setbacks along the way. However, we learnt to persevere and through hard work, determination and providing each other support we completed the 1000 mile cycle on time.
I would bring this same mental approach to the Clipper Race. I am under no illusions it will be easy but that is partly why I want to take part. Bring it on!

This Gore-Tex website is one of the best brand building online platforms I've ever come across. Connecting those who love taking part in all manner of adventures in which Gore-Tex clothing is used with opportunities to fulfil otherwise unobtainable life dreams. Whoever came up with the concept deserves an award!
Do go and check it out and see if there is anything (or many things) that appeal to you
REASON NUMBER 6:
I love making videos with my GoPro 3 in other sports I take part in. I would definitely look to make use of my GoPro if I were to win a place aboard the Clipper Race!
I also already use Gore-Tex materials to keep me dry!

REASON NUMBER 5:
I love photography. If I were to win a place aboard the Clipper Race I would definitely look to capture beautiful photos to share the experience with as many people as possible.
I took this photo of the yacht we helped to sail in Montenegro at sunset. I would highly recommend Montenegro as a destination- a beautiful country and amazing people.
