We first met Chris Sheehan and the Warrior Won team when they arrived in Hobart at the end of 2022 RSHYR. It made for a memorable interview not only in learning how the details of the Warrior Won campaign had been developed, but also because a 35 knot storm burst hit Hobart in the middle of the interview!

The Hobart race was one of a full suite of ocean classics on the Pac 52 Warrior Won program, as you’ll hear in the interview. Chris has gone next level for the Rolex Fastnet race, convening a very impressive Brains Trust that includes Will Oxley, Stu Bannatyne and Richard Clark.
