James Horton
Crew
Sailing is in James’ blood. James has been crewing boats from as early as 10 years old and it was this early exposure to sailing that led him to joining the Sea Cadets. It was during that time James was given the opportunity to sail and race a variety of different boats and was his path to becoming an RYA instructor for sailing, powerboating and kayaking. These qualifications were used to full effect whilst he “worked” in the south of France for several seasons. Life then took James in a different direction, and he transferred his competitive and focused nature to cycling. James, is now a keen cyclist and has been lucky to transfer his hobby to his work, with over 10 years of experience working in the cycling industry. Through his work and cycling experience, James has come to support the Steve Bernard Foundation in all their 2-wheel orientated fundraising events. Cycling has, in turn, brought James back to sailing after he and Josh had a chance meeting out on a bike ride. Josh set the scene for Wildgybe and James was hooked. The rest of the story is yet to be told…
