Team Leadership
Skipper
Heather Thomas
Nationality: British
Location: Leeds and Southampton, UK
“Ten years ago, when I was a crew member on the race, I dreamt of one day becoming a Race skipper and following in the footsteps of Wendy Tuck. To now be fulfilling that dream is an incredible feeling. I can’t wait to meet my crew and my boat and get stuck into creating our team together.”
First Mate
Millie Apperley

Millie started sailing as a child, completing Tall Ships races and gaining 14,000+ miles across the UK, Greece, and Uruguay to the UK via celestial navigation on the Ocean Globe race. Now a Clipper First Mate, she’s eager to help lead her team, strengthen offshore skills, and share her love of the strong bonds formed at sea.
