Nick Bubb is the Artemis Figaro’s shore-based technical manager.

30-year old Nick Bubb already has a rather impressive nautical CV, having completed a round-the-world journey aboard a multihull during the 2006 Oryx Quest, and more recently taken part in the Volvo Ocean Race as boat captain and watch leader. On the technical and project management fronts, he has built and campaigned Minis and a Class 40 monohull, thus acquiring invaluable know-how and strong problem-anticipation skills. His Mini experience will be very helpful for Ollie Bond!

A successful racer himself, Nick will be co-skippering the Artemis Figaro alongside Jonny in the double-handed “Tour de Bretagne” (Round Brittany) in September.
