Who he is: This is Nick's fourth Volvo Ocean Race experience, although he has only raced in two of them. His first, in 2008-09, saw him work on shore for PUMA Ocean Racing, and in 2011-12 he went offshore as an Onboard Reporter on Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing. His first experience as a crew member came in 2014-15 on Team Alvimedica, and he returns for a second consecutive sailing campaign with Vestas 11th Hour Racing. Dana grew up tinkering with boats at his family's shipyard in Rhode Island and has been racing professionally for nearly all of his adult life, winning prizes on all types of boat.

    • Vestas 11th Hour Racing. Hannah Diamond. Diamond, who started racing aged nine, is a Volvo Ocean Race rookie but she has bags of experience inshore. Much of that has been in the Nacra 17 class, in which she won a silver medal at the World Championships in 2013.

    • Mark Towill. Vestas 11th Hour Racing. Towill combines his role as de facto co-skipper on the boat with looking after the business side of the on-shore operation. That doesn’t leave a lot of room for down-time, but if he does ever get a free day you’ll likely find this Hawaiian native kite surfing or paddle boarding.

    • Vestas 11th Hour Racing. Phil Harmer A race winner in the last two editions – with Groupama in 2011-12 and Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing in 2014-15 – Harmer has a shot at an extraordinary hat-trick. The Aussie sailor initially entered the race in 2005-06 with Brunel, taking part in a few legs, before returning for his first full lap of the planet with Green Dragon in 2008-09. That was where he hooked up with Ian Walker, who would eventually bring him into the successful Abu Dhabi campaign two editions later.
