In this episode I'm joined by Colin Tomlinson.Colin owns a learning and development company specialising in teaching Project Leadership and Management in the Civil Engineering and Construction industry.  He uses techniques adapted from his 24 years career as an Officer in the Royal Engineers and his 12 years of experience within the industry to help navigate through the complexities of working on projects.  He has recently completed two legs of The Clipper Race sailing almost 15,000 miles from Australia to Seattle via Vietnam and China. When he and I talked about his recent sailing adventure I found myself fascinated by why he'd decided to do it, how he went about it, what was the impact on his business and family, what was the experience really like and what did he take from it that has remained with him now he's back at home and back in his business.Colin kindly agreed to join me to create this episode and answer all my questions. In doing so he shares how instead of pausing his business to go sailing, the trip has been a catalyst to help him scale it. Perhaps less surprising were the numerous leadership lessons that emerge from the concentrated team environment of an ocean racing yacht.I'm excited to invite you to join Colin and me as he takes us behind the scenes of the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race, the only event of its type in the world where anyone, even if they've never stepped on a boat before, can join the adventure.Contact Colin:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/colintomlinson/Clipper Round the World About AndyI'm an experienced business leader and a passionate developer of people in the automotive finance industry, internationally.During over twenty years, I have played a key role in developing businesses including Alphabet UK, BMW Corporate Finance UK, BMW Financial Services Singapore, BMW Financial Services New Zealand and Tesla Financial Services UK.

When the world came to a screeching halt in 2020, The Clipper Race fleet pulled into Subic Bay and the race was put on hold after sailing only half the journey. Just over two years later, the teams are back in the Philippines to finish the lap. In this episode we are honored to be talking with Sir Robin Knox-Johnston (yes, that Sir Robin) who is among many things the brainchild behind The Clipper Race and Mark Light, who completed his own lap back in the 2012 Clipper Race and is now the race's director. Take a listen!

Sir Robin Knox-Johnston became the first person to perform a single-handed non-stop circumnavigation of the globe. He also started The Clipper Race which is one of the biggest challenges of the natural world and an endurance test like no other. It's a record-breaking 40,000 nautical mile race around the world on a 70-foot ocean racing yacht. Sir Robin has helped change the lives of thousands of people. LOQBOX's Katy Ringsdore and Jenny Hall, who have both had experiences on The Clipper Race, spoke to Sir Robin about his 1968 accomplishment and his love of sailing. Hosted on Acast.

This month double Olympic gold medalist Shirley Robertson sits down for a two part podcast chat with the first man ever to sail solo non-stop around the planet, Britain's Sir Robin Knox-Johnston. In this, Part 2 of their discussion, the pair talk about life after the return from Sir Robin's incredible 312 day journey.Having completed his voyage, and cemented his place in the annals of the history of exploration, Sir Robin's competitive streak soon saw him back on the global race course, and by 1977 he was joint skipper on an entry in the Whitbread Round the World Race, where amongst his crew was a certain Peter Blake. With the announcement of the Jules Verne Trophy, Knox-Johnston and Blake went on to famously form the eventual record holding team, ENZA New Zealand, breaking the established record in 1994 with a 74 day lap of the planet.Robertson and Knox-Johnston then discuss how a trip with British mountaineer and expedition leader Sir Chris Bonnington inspired an idea that would become the 'open to all' crewed around the world adventure, The Clipper Race. It's a race that has been on going now for over twenty years, and is currently in it's twelfth, a fact that Sir Robin ranks as one of his greatest achievements."When I look at all the lives that have benefitted from the Clipper, and the number of those sailors, forty percent of them have never been on a boat before, who have taken up sailing subsequently as their sport, to my mind that is going to rank pretty highly because there's over five thousand people now that have taken the sport up all over the world." states Sir Robin, on being asked by Robertson what he sees as his greatest contribution to the sport.This edition of the podcast is in two parts and is available to listen to via the podcast page of Shirley’s own website, at www.shirleyrobertson.com/podcast or via most popular podcast outlets, including iTunes, Spotify, Google Podcast and aCast.

Double Olympic gold medalist Shirley Robertson sits down for a two part podcast chat with the first man ever to sail solo non-stop around the planet, Britain's Sir Robin Knox-Johnston.Sir Robin completed his ground breaking voyage in April 1969, after an astonishing 312 days alone at sea. having sailed his thirty two foot ketch 'Suhaili' thirty thousand miles around the planet. The voyage is one of the most documented in sailing, and was part of the famous Golden Globe race, initiated by the British newspaper, The Sunday Times. Nine entrants eventually left to compete in the Golden Globe, but Sir Robin was the only boat that finished, the physical and mental travails of the effort famously proving too much for many of the other entrants.Sir Robin spent much of his voyage nursing "Suhaili' around the planet, constantly running repairs as the savage effects of months in the ferocious Southern Ocean took a heavy toll. But his trusty craft was more than a match for the brutal southern storms, and it is with deep affection that Sir Robin talks of her now."She was a cracking little sea boat, a wave could wash right over and did on a few occasions, she'd just shake herself and bob back up, like a terrier really. I built up a huge affection for Suhaili, a tremendous trust in her, she is simple, she's not complicated. Everything's stronger than it needs to be, everything's thought through. She's very important to me, she's been part of my life since I was 23, and I've done so much with her, she's done so much for me too. I always say any fool could get her around the world, I proved it!"Sir Robin Knox-Johnston onboard 'Suhaili'Once passed New Zealand, and into the second half of his voyage, a troublesome radio meant Sir Robin struggled to make contact with anyone to inform of his progress, and he was assumed missing until he finally signalled a ship while passing the Azores, just fifteen hundred miles from home. News of his survival hit the front pages, and by the time he steered 'Suhaili' back into the English Channel, he was a household name in the UK. Met by a flotilla of well wishers, the shoreline around Falmouth lined with cheering crowds, Robin Knox-Johnston had become the first man ever to complete the ground breaking voyage.This edition of the podcast is in two parts and is available to listen to via the podcast page of Shirley’s own website, at www.shirleyrobertson.com/podcast or via most popular podcast outlets, including iTunes, Spotify, Google Podcast and aCast.

I first met Chrissie Jackson, a photographer from Newquay, when we shared the experience of sailing from Australia to China on the Clipper Race. We caught up recently, and here's her story about how she's using adventure to make the scary less scary, it's inspirational and I think we could all learn a lot from being more like Chrissie.

Listen In To Learn How advances in technology have made sailing safer The role that technology plays for all of today's sailors The extreme environments of a round the world race How tech has allowed spectators to keep up to date with the race whilst remaining on solid ground Tech That's Tough Enough To Withstand Mother Nature's Wildest Conditions In a 40,000 nautical mile race around the world in 70-foot racing yachts where nearly half the crew have little to no sailing experience, the Clipper Round The World Race is not for the faint hearted. Experiencing extreme heat, condensation, corrosive salt water and numbing cold, it's only the toughest of tech that will survive and see each team through to the finish. In this fascinating episode, Sir Robin Knox-Johnston, Founder and Chairman of the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race, paints a vivid picture of life at sea. He takes us below deck to explain the training and preparation required to sail a yacht around the world, the tech that keeps spectators up to date with race conditions and the scariest experience of his life on the water.

On this episode, Abby Ehler talks to with someone who recently stepped into the history books becoming the first female skipper to win the grueling Clipper Race. Wendy Tuck skippered her team Sanya Serenity Coast, to a win in the 2017-18 Clipper Race; this was her second Clipper Race as skipper. In 2017 Wendy achieved her life-long goal of making the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia honors list after she competed in a tenth Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race, actually winning her class for the second consecutive year. The RSHYR is a race very close to Wendy’s heart. The 52-year-old was awarded the Jane Tate Memorial Trophy, which goes to the first female Skipper across the finish line, after winning the Clipper Race class of the 2015 Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race, which doubled as Race 5 of the race’s All-Australian Leg. We hear about her experiences from the Clipper Race and her up-and-coming role with Maiden and the Maiden Factor Charity, founded by Tracy Edwards.

Episode three is one very close to my heart.  Back in 2007-8, I became the first female to successfully circumnavigate as skipper of the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race so it was my absolute pleasure to chat with professional sailor and skipper of the first placed team in the 2017-18 Clipper Race - Wendy Tuck.  Not only did she WIN the race but in doing so became the FIRST female skipper in history to win an around the world yacht race, a decade after my own circumnavigation.  This truly inspiring lady talks about her experinces of leading a team of amatuer sailors around the world, dealing with the man management aspect of the race and describes in details her greatest "oh s&%t" moment which only goes to demonstrate the tenacity, determination and spirit of this truly inspiring female.  Wendy is an incredibly humble person who admits that she did not even realise initially that her first place in the Clipper Race put her in the sailing history books.  For anyone who wants to learn about how to keep calm in a crisis and motivate a team to keep pushing no matter how tough it gets this episode is for you.  So tune in, feel free to share and I hope you enjoy the amazing stories Wendy has to tell. As ever thank you for listening and if you have a story you would like to share please get in touch info@achievingawesome.co.  If you have a moment to give the show a rating on I Tunes I would much appreciate your support. PS. We conducted this interview thousands of miles apart via Skype so occaisionally the sound quality is not perfect so bear with us on that one :)

#163 is Sir Robin Knox-Johnston, a sailing legend. In 1968 he became the first person to sail solo & nonstop around the world in the infamous Golden Globe Race, in a wooden ketch he built himself, and inspiring modern ocean racing as we know it. Sir Robin went on to compete in several Whitbread races, completed some little-known feats of traditional navigation, set the Jules Verne record with Peter Blake, created the Clipper Race and on and on. I sat down with him in England to reflect on his career. "I got a job in Durban, as captain of a ship, running up & down the east coast. And that’s when Chichester went past on his voyage around the world and I began to think about it. I got home, and I saw him come in, saw him come up the Thames, and I thought, ‘There’s one thing left to do - go around without stopping.’" You’re listening to On the Wind, my podcast about ocean sailing.
