Louis Sinclair. MAPFRE.
New Zealand born, but raised in the Caribbean, Louis returns for a second edition of the Volvo Ocean Race after a memorable introduction as part of the successful Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing campaign in 2014-15, where he sailed two legs. He has since competed in the America’s Cup as part of Oracle Team USA, where he gained a reputation as the strongest sailor in the event – and has a range of big boat experience having raced onboard Leopard 3 and 100ft Super Maxi Comanche in the past.

Willy Altadill. MAPFRE.
Willy Altadill returns for a second race as an Under-30 having made his debut when called up by MAPFRE during the 2014-15 edition. His Volvo Ocean Race experience actually started at a much younger age, thanks to his dad Guillermo’s five races as a competitor from 1989 to 2009. Willy grew up around the race and really started showing his own credentials as a sailor in the Fastnet Race in 2011.

Blair Tuke. MAPFRE. It’s been a whirlwind 12 months for Tuke, who scooped gold alongside long-time sailing partner Peter Burling in the 49er class at the Rio Olympics (his second medal having won silver at London 2012), then followed up with an historic America’s Cup win as a key part of Emirates Team New Zealand just 10 months later. Not bad for a 28-year-old – and now, the six-time world champion has turned his attention to an all-new challenge: the Volvo Ocean Race with MAPFRE. Can he become the first sailor in history to win sailing’s Triple Crown of the Olympics, the America’s Cup and the Volvo Ocean Race? Photo by Ainhoa Sanchez/Volvo Ocean Race.
