The Marine Industry Regatta is excited to announce that Ian Walker will be the guest speaker at this year's Regatta. Ian will be speaking about both his experience winning the Volvo Ocean Race, as part of the Abu Dhabi Sailing Team, and his most recent triumph, #HellOnHighSeas to raise money for Sport Relief.
In addition, Ian will be out on the water competing in the event and giving the competitors a real run for their money.
"With less than 2 months to go, the excitement is building for the 2016 Marine Industry Regatta which will be raising money for the John Merricks Sailing Trust and the Andrew Simpson Sailing Foundation. I'm looking forward to joining the industry for a day's sailing and guest speaking" – Ian Walker.
Sailing out of Port Solent, Hampshire, the Marine Industry Regatta takes place on Wednesday 1st June and is a great way to catch up with other marine professionals and to entertain clients and staff.
With only 5 boats remaining for the 2016 Marine Industry Regatta, organisers encourage potential entrants to book their boats now to avoid disappointment.
