    The Ocean Race

Something about him that you don't know: In true Hawaiian style, Mark loves kite surfing and paddle boarding.

Who is he: Towill combines his role as de facto co-skipper on the boat with looking after the business side of the on-shore operation. That doesn’t leave a lot of room for down-time, but if he does ever get a free day you’ll likely find this Hawaiian native kite surfing or paddle boarding.
