Earlier today
Ken Read in Gothenburg on the AC and Comanche programs
Having missed catching up with Kenny in Cowes and also in Plymouth was great to talk about his first press conference from the 'other' side as well as the Fastnet, and upcoming schedule for Comanche, and just how he manages his own sailing, with the AC commentary as well as his role with North Sails.
