Our profile of a pro this week is on Ian Walker, who is no stranger to ocean racing. He is the only British skipper to have won The Ocean Race in 2014/2015 with ‘Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing’. Today Ian is the Director of Racing at the Royal Yachting Association. In this interview with Niall from Offwatch, he talks about his fascinating career in The Olympics, The America’s Cup, and of course his famous victory in the 2014-15 Ocean Race with ‘Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing’. Ian also discusses how to get into The Ocean Race as a sailor, as well as his opinion on one-design sailing.
