Following in mum's footsteps.........crossing the Atlantic for the first time.

Alex Eyre talks to First Class Sailing's podcaster Ceri Hurford-Jones about her sailing experiences to date and her plans for the future. At the age of 7 Alex discovered sailing, mucking around in old wooden wayfarers in the Devon estuaries. But is wasn't until University that she really got the sailing bug as she joined the yachting team race training and exploring the Clyde, spending nights at anchor in remote Scottish villages and towns including Tarbet and Holy Loch.

In 2013 she ended up working on some ex Whitbread yachts in the Whitsundays taking backpackers on 3 day trips, followed by a life changing experience that saw her taking part in the Fastnet yacht race,In 2017 she decided to fulfill a life long dream and cross the Atlantic, at trip that really followed in her mother’s foot steps.

And that is where First Class Sailing came in........
