A safety message for sailors this Christmas

I took the opportunity today to catch up with Sir Robin-Knox Johnston, the CEO and founder of the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race and Matt Allen, the Vice-Chair of World Sailing's Oceanic & Offshore Committee about the unfortunate failure of a tether clip which led to a casualty on the third leg of the race.

Sailing is a safe sport, but education and awareness is important to make sure that we can save lives, and see everyone stay safe over Christmas, a busy time for sailing in this part of the world! Thanks to Matt and Robin for talking with me today in the Rolex Sydney Hobart village at the Cruising Yacht Club Of Australia to make this issue clear to everyone.

Stay safe over Christmas, and always!
