Something about him that you don't know: Nicknamed 'Wisbang', Daryl lives by his grandfather’s advice: “if a job is worth doing, it’s worth doing properly".

Who is he: A Volvo Ocean Race winner in 2014-15 with Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing, New Zealand’s Daryl returns to the race for a fourth time – and is delighted that his decade-long ‘love affair’ with the Volvo Ocean Race is set to continue.
