Caption: Vestas 11th Hour Racing. Tom Johnson.
Johnson quickly rose through the elite ranks of 49er and moth sailing before making a leap into the Volvo Ocean Race with Team Vestas Wind in 2014-15. When their race came to an abrupt halt in the Indian Ocean on Leg 2, he joined up with Team ORACLE USA in the America's Cup as a wing trimmer. Now he's back onboard a Volvo Ocean 65 and eager to shine.
