On March 30th, Clipper Round the World Yacht Race sailor, Andrew Taylor had the most terrifying experience. In rough weather and 35 knots of wind, he went over the side of the Clipper 70 yacht Derry~Londonderry~Diore and survived one and half hours in stormy Pacific waters.
Andrew has now recovered from his ordeal and is continuing his round the world voyage. All of us at Henri Lloyd are so pleased that he is well enough to continue. Andrew was presented with a brand new Henri Lloyd Ocean Pro Dry Suit at the San Francisco stopover by Matt Sablowski of Henri Lloyd USA.
Andrew Taylor said, "My Henri Lloyd dry suit was without question one of the major contributing factors to my survival during the time I spent overboard in the 11 degree waters of the North Pacific. I understand from our on board team medic that my base layers were still dry when they were cut off after my recovery".
