A strong leader, Xabi takes over the campaign as full-time skipper for the first time after deputising for Iker Martínez on some legs in 20-14-15.

    • 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. Previous Volvo Ocean Races: 2014-15 Team Vestas Wind
