Crew Profiles
John Braithwaite
Age 32, Project Manager
Taking part in the Clipper 07-08 Round the World Yacht race is realising an ambition I had when I first set sail in a yacht in 2003, says John. After a week of sailing out of Plymouth I knew I wanted to sail the oceans of the world. It felt impossible at the time, now I know it’s possible, I just need to do it. With the crew of Jamaica I know we can do it!
John, who lives in Staffordshire, is a project manager for Argos. He is looking forward to meeting amazing people – not just his fellow crew members but those he will encounter in the host ports around the world. “This is an opportunity to learn from and work with a fantastic group of people to achieve the ambition of a lifetime,” he says.
