Simon Clarke is a Hampshire based yachtsman with over 20 years experience of ocean racing. His dedication, passion and attention to detail have helped him gain unparalleled experience and he has often been the unsung hero of many notable campaigns including Hugo Boss, Aera, Bounder and Team Tonic. “Clarkee”, 42, is continuing in his quest of short handed sailing when he participates in the Artemis Transat starting in May from Plymouth (UK). “This race is the one of the classics, it has been a life long ambition to compete in it. It is a real test of the boat, preparation, and seamanship. To be at the start is one challenge to be at the finish an even greater one. The boat is new to me, so it will be a baptism of fire for the both of us”.
