About
Colin Blears
43 years old
A keen sailor and endurance athlete. I have already crossed the Atlantic Ocean in a 70 foot racing yacht as part of the Clipper Round The World Yacht race, as well as sailing from Australia to China. In addition to the Atlantic row, I am also training for an 8 marathons in 8 days challenge in the Alps later in 2017. Although new to rowing, I have intensively applied myself to learning this new sport and am greatly looking forward to returning to the Ocean in March for my greatest challenge to date.
