Portrait :

Encore un superbe palmarès pour le deuxième Australien de l’équipe (27 ans) qui a commencé sa carrière par la grande porte en participant à la Louis Vuitton Cup 1999-2000 avec Young Australia. Il enchaîne ensuite les succès et les épreuves prestigieuses comme la Sydney-Hobart (sur Wild Thing et Skandia), ou la Volvo Ocean Race (Nautor Challenge) et navigue beaucoup en maxi (Morning Glory). À terre, c’est un spécialiste de la construction et du calcul de structure. Il fera également partie de l’équipe de Sébastien JOSSE pour le prochain tour du monde en équipage.

 

Nick has been sailing for most of his life, the last five years of which as a professional sailor. As a qualified boat builder, Nick gained a wealth of experience with the latest composite construction technology and structural engineering at Blue Sky Composites in Australia. Such expertise has already proven valuable in his role as Shore Captain for the first TEAM ABN AMRO boat and is sure to come in handy as he takes his place on the second yacht during the race. Racking up a lot of experience on the water has provided Nick with another treasure – a wealth of anecdotes of past sailing adventures. Nick knows what is required to achieve success in yachting campaigns: always cheerful, he notes that "ocean racing has taught him the importance of team work."
