Chris Jacks (30)
Chris is an adventurer at heart who began sailing 4 years ago. He has since clocked up more than 2,000 sea miles, many of them sailing two-handed across the Irish Sea from his home port of Liverpool. Chris has just bought the Camper & Nicholson 32 Mk XI Roma for the race, and intends to sail round Britain alone in 2016 and compete in the 2017 OSTAR singlehanded transatlantic race from Plymouth to Newport, Rhode Island.
