Ian Thomson: mono-hull record holder for circumnavigating Australia

In this episode we catch up with Ian Thomson, organiser of the 6,350nm Around Australia Yacht Race. Its set to start in August 2017 with competitors sailing out of Sydney and this will be the first event held, since Sir Peter Blake won it sailing his catamaran around Australia in 1988.

Ian is the current solo sailing mono-hull record holder, after circumnavigating Australia in 2012. From Ian's live aboard yacht in the marina at Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron, we delve into what's driven him to organise the 2017 race and find out more about the Ocean Crusaders; an organisation that Ian founded that has taken its ocean preservation education program into 18,000 schools so far.
