Ever since being pushed out in a dinghy at a young age, Andy has spent most of his time in, on or around water. His studies led him to an MSc in Oceanography from the National Oceanography Centre at Southampton University before his professional sailing career really took off. He worked alongside Mike Golding, then with Alex Thomson in preparation for the Velux 5 Oceans, and was subsequently taken on as skipper / boat captain of the Volvo 60 Hugo Boss II.
Andy, Logistics Manager of the Artemis Ocean Racing Team, brings a strong personality and a competitive streak to the group, locking horns at any opportunity with his older brother Graham ’Gringo’ Tourell.
