Sailing CV: Having been brought up designing, building and sailing boats from a very young age, Malcolm considers sailing to be in his DNA.
He can’t really remember when he learned to sail and helm his Dads yacht, but it was certainly well before he started school.
Sailed around the world in 2000 east about south of all the great Capes.

Personal Goal / Quote: "This race will be my eleventh sail across the Tasman, and my sixth time solo. Feel very fortunate to still be able to participate in this great event."
