Something about him that you don't know: After leaving school at the age of 18, Henry set off to sail single handed around Britain, with a view to one day be racing across oceans and around the world as a professional offshore sailor.

Who he is: Bomby is one of Britain's most promising young sailors and comes into the Volvo Ocean Race having competed in four Solitaire du Figaro campaigns as well as over two years racing onboard MOD70 trimaran Phaedo 3. With over 30,000 nm under his belt, the Artemis Offshore Academy graduate makes the step up to the Volvo Ocean Race in 2017-18 keen to tick off a long-held round-the-world ambition.
