Something about him that you don't know: Trystan grew up in Wales and one of his first sailing experiences was sailing around Cardigan Bay on his dad’s 22 foot cruiser.

Who he is: Trystan steps onboard the Volvo Ocean 65 in 2017-18 – a boat he knows all too well after working as part of the Volvo Ocean Race Boatyard team in 2014-15. Once he decided he wanted to become a professional sailor, he moved to Southampton to be closer to the yachting scene and has since been working as a full-time engineer at Diverse Yachts, before getting his big chance onboard.
