Tune into Ahoy! Episode 7 with Susie Rasmussen

Today we hear from MYC club member Susie Rasmussen.

Back in 2005 Susie took on the biggest challenge of her life, racing on West Australia dot com in the 2005/6 Clipper Round the World Race.

In that edition of the Clipper Race Round the World Race 10 identical yachts for the first time circumnavigated from east to west.

They raced some 35,000 miles across the Southern Ocean and across the North Pacific, starting and finishing in Liverpool, England.

Susie competed in all legs of the race.

Her team were on the podium nine of the 13 legs and finally finished the grueling race in first overall.

Susie left behind her professional life, her home and MYC friends to embark on this incredible adventure.

In our chat Susie give us an insight into how she got involved in the Clipper Race and what it was like – the lows and the highs, the people, places and the magnificence of being at sea where the sights above and around her built her into a stronger, more confident person and left her with a once in a lifetime memory.
