RYA Racing will have an experienced new hand at the helm with the announcement that Ian Walker MBE is to take up the Director of Racing position this autumn.
The double Olympic medallist, America’s Cup sailor, Volvo Ocean Race-winning skipper and 5 times Mirror National Champion will take up the baton from John Derbyshire OBE, who is set to retire later this year after 32 years’ involvement with the organisation, including 16 years in the Director of Racing role.
