There’s not much that five-time Volvo Ocean Race veteran and passionate ocean conservationist Damian Foxall hasn’t done when it comes to sailing. He won the Volvo Ocean Race as part of Groupama in 2011-12, set a round-the-world speed record onboard G-Class catamaran Cheyenne, and took victory in the two-handed Barcelona World Race in 2008, adding all that to his record as the first ever non-French entry to grab a leg win at the Solitaire du Figaro in 1997. Now, he returns to the toughest test of a team in professional sport looking to lift the trophy for a second time.

    • Tony Mutter. Vestas 11th Hour Racing. A five-time race veteran, Mutter has won the Volvo Ocean Race twice – onboard ABN AMRO ONE in 2005-06 and Ericsson 4 in 2008-09. He then returned in 2011-12 as part of PUMA Ocean Racing, and became part of the Comanche programme, working as watch captain onboard as the 100ft super-maxi broke a number of world speed records. After taking an edition off in 2014-15, where he admits that he struggled to accept watching it from shore, he's back in the race for 2017-18 – and adds decades of elite experience to Vestas 11th Hour Racing.
