Geoff Holt became an inspiration to many when
he completed his ‘Personal Everest’ challenge. Geoff sailed 1,445
miles, solo, around Great Britain in a fragile 15-foot dinghy in
2007. Hailed an extraordinary, courageous achievement, Geoff is a
passionate, talented yachtsman who uses a wheelchair.
Paralysed from the chest down after a swimming
accident, Geoff secured another place in the history books when he
become the first quadriplegic sailor to sail across the Atlantic in
January 2010. As someone once joked, Geoff Holt is now the most
admired disabled sailor since Nelson!
