Joshua Metcalfe – Sailing

Bio

I’m a 27 year old sailor and have been competing on the World seen since being a junior 17 years ago. After taking a few years out of competing to coach British and Irish Youth Teams I have now decided to get back competing on the armature scene. My aim is to win the UK Nationals in either the RS200 class or RS400 class and then go on to compete in the Endeavor Trophy which will mean competing against all other class champions from that year.  With the support of Fission Nutrition I know I will have the upper edge on my competitor’s fitness which will make reaching my goals an easier task.
