#36 // RECYCLED. John Rousmaniere is a lifelong sailor & writer whose seen - and done - it all. I first met John in Bermuda following the 2014 Newport-Bermuda Race. John's been involved in the race for years running the media team. John's most well-known for his books - namely the Annapolis Book of Seamanship, and Fastnet Force 10, about that infamous race in 1979.
