Geoff Holt MBE
Inspirational Yachtsman, Speaker & Author
Geoff Holt is an inspirational yachtsman. He entered the history books on 5 September 2007 when he sailed 1,445 miles, solo, around Great Britain in a fragile 15-foot dinghy. This was hailed a groundbreaking, courageous achievement. Paralysed from the chest down after a swimming accident, Geoff lives by the mantra of 'no excuses' and continues to challenge what seems impossible. Another world-record was to follow. In 2010, Geoff became the first quadriplegic to sail across the Atlantic.
"What Geoff achieved was quite extraordinary and took an awful amount of courage" Her Royal Highness, Princess Anne
