Crew Profiles
Bernard Tissier
Age 52, IT Specialist
IT specialist Bernard will fulfil a long-held ambition to sail around the world when he competes in Clipper 07-08. He first heard about the race in 1999 and the seed was firmly planted, but circumstances didn’t allow him to take part then.
“I decided to enter the race in mid-2005 and followed the last one on a daily basis, even going to Liverpool to see them off,” he says. “My partner gave me her full backing, saying I’d regret it if I didn’t fulfil this particular ambition. I must also give thanks to my mother, as the money she left me in her will gave me the financial wherewithal to turn my dream into a reality.
“Sailing around the world will be an awesome achievement; but the lasting legacy will be the bonds of friendship formed with my skipper, crew and crews from the other yachts.”
