Excerpt from the Torresen Sailing Site Interview with
Andrew Darwent

Torresen Sailing Site: What made you decide: I want to sail around the world?

ad1.as2.jpg (2111 bytes)Sailing around the world has been a burning ambition of mine for many years. This was consolidated,
when I travelled around the world as shore crew during the last BOC and I have been planning my campaign ever since. Not many people get to realise their dreams and aspirations - I am committed to making mine happen.

Torresen Sailing Site: What qualities as a sailor do you possess that make you feel you can
win the race?

ad1.as2.jpg (2111 bytes)Whatever life throws at me I never give up ! When I am sailing this applies, too. I am very determined and when committed to something I see it through to the end.

Torresen Sailing Site: What result, or action will make your campaign a success?

ad1.as2.jpg (2111 bytes)A circumnavigation of the globe will make my campaign a success.
Ultimately, a win in Class 2 would be the icing on the cake!
