The Royal Ocean Racing Club's RORC Talk Series continues with and exclusive interview with Ellie Driver. The 20-year-old RORC Member was voted Sailor of the Year at the 2022 British Yachting Awards.

The father and daughter duo, Jim and Ellie Driver, raced Sun Fast 3300 Chilli Pepper in IRC Two-Handed throughout the 2022 RORC Season's Points Championship. Notably Chilli Pepper won the Morgan Cup overall under IRC, and in August, Ellie became the youngest ever skipper to finish the gruelling Sevenstar Round Britain & Ireland Race.
