Nick BUBB

Nick graduated from the University of Exeter in 2001 with an honours degree in Engineering and was British University Dinghy Champion. Over the next ten years he worked as a sailor and engineer on a variety of high performance sailing campaigns. In particular, he took part as watch leader in the Volvo Ocean Race 2008/9 and in numerous single-handed transatlantic races. He was also one of the youngest people to complete a non-stop round-the-world race after finishing the HSBC Oryx Quest in 2005.

Between 2007 and 2010, he was a member of Mike Golding's IMOCA ECOVER team.

From August 2021 to the end of 2022, he sailed from the UK to New Zealand with his family. During this time, he worked part-time and visited many places and communities heavily affected by climate change.

In early 2010, after nearly ten years of professional ocean racing and more than 100,000 nautical miles, Nick embarked on a career in finance to broaden his business knowledge. He took a short sabbatical in early 2013 to skipper the 'Shackleton Epic', which retraced Sir Ernest Shackleton's famous voyage from Antarctica to South Georgia.
