Congratulations to Murdoch McGregor, who was named Sailor of the Year 2021 at the British Yachting Awards. At the age of 82, Murdoch McGregor completed a 1,900-mile trip around the UK in June.
The 80-day-long solo voyage in his 23-foot yacht, Artemis, raised more than £10,000 for the Mental Health UK charity.
'I get great satisfaction from being alone & vulnerable at sea' 💙
