Simon Rowell
As replacement skipper, Simon will soon feel at home
aboard Jersey's 60-foot racing yacht having skippered Leeds Clipper
in the 2000 race.
Simon
is an engineer by trade, having worked for a number of years in
the North Sea, Oman and Pakistan in the oil and gas industry.

Rowell |
He
made his comeback to yachting in 1997 as skipper of the UKSA Albatross.
His
experience of sailing in varied waters, from the Solent to the North
Atlantic, puts him in good stead to get a running start with his
new crew on the Cuba to Hawaii leg.
Originally
from Nottingham, Simon grew up in Harare, Zimbabwe, and now lives
in Cowes, Isle of Wight.
Commenting
on his forthcoming challenge, Simon said "Ocean racing with
such a wonderfully diverse team of people, some of whom had never
sailed before, let alone raced, was the ultimate challenge in The
Times Clipper 2000 Race.
Clipper
2002, the world's longest race, presents a new set of challenges
and I hope to rise to this fantastic opportunity for the Island
of Jersey."
"The
Jersey crew made a great start to the eleven month race, securing
a close second place into Cascais, and we will be looking to build
upon this success to provide our many supporters in the Channel
Islands with good cause to celebrate."
