CV 31 – UNICEF in which I completed Level 4 training and will complete Legs 2, 3, 6 and 8 of the next Race. Ironically I did Level 3 training in the all white, and at the time, unbranded, CV31. See Blog 60: Level 3 Training, Part 2 published 4 May 2019
Zhuhai was the first Clipper 2019-2020 yacht to be branded back in March (See Blog 51: Clipper 2019-2020 First Boat Branding, published 8 March 2019) and now as the Countdown Clock on the official Race website ticks down through 33 Days, 17 Hours, 37 Minutes and 15 Seconds to Race Start, pretty much all the team sponsor and yacht brandings are now complete.
UNICEF, Visit Sanya, WTC Logistics, Dare To Lead, Zhuhai, Punta del Este, Seattle Qingdao and Go Bermuda. Only two more to be announced. Watch this space.
Now a bell ringing, bee keeping businessman (not always in that order) Keith has limited yachting experience but considerable sea-going experience having served afloat for the majority of his 34 years service in the Royal Navy. This included serving in every class of warship from minesweeper to aircraft carrier, commanding 4 different ships (a minesweeper, two destroyers and an amphibious command ship) and commanding all UK maritime forces in the Middle East for a 2 year period. Concurrently he was the Deputy Coalition Commander of a multi-national force of over 115 warships drawn from 22 different countries. For him the challenge and excitement of being part of the Clipper Round The World Race team has proved irresistible, in particular taking on the four big west-east ocean crossings and the chance to sail across oceans and seas he has yet to experience.
