Julian is the owner/skipper with a background in dinghy racing then one design racing on the solent before competing in the British Steel Challenge round the world race in competition with Richard Tudor. Julian has completed two previous Three Peaks Races and also suffered the embarrassment of sinking a boat outside Ravenglass when having gone aground, the tow arranged by the coastguard took us over a sandbank that ripped the keel and a section of hull away. Latterly Julian has raced at PSC in Quango, a Hunter 707.

We are raising money for the Anthony Nolan Bone Marrow Trust with a target of at least £1500 (link below). https://www.anthonynolanevents.org.uk/MichaelStanford
