Conrad Colman Ex OG Student returns

Conrad Colman was a distinction graded student on our Ocean Graduate programme in 2007. Having completed his training, Conrad took part in the GBR Yacht Racing Academy before embarking on his latest adventure.

...At 2am this morning he sailed his recently purchased racing cat into Cowes Yacht Haven, having sailed it from Italy. Conrad sailed the cat single-handed from Gibraltar. He has many a tale to tell about his rather sharp learning curve and brutal introduction to single-handed sailing.

Not wanting to miss the opportunity to catch up with a past graduate, We jumped in a van with a camera and interviewed him on the dock. - we will post the film up here shortly

Conrad's aim is to complete in a mini-transat and then go on to race in the Jacques Vabre Transat. In the meantime he is living in Cowes, racing with the GBR Yacht Race Academy and working in the Solent as a Cruising Instructor.
