Steve White - Motivational Speaker

Steve, currently ranked as one of the world’s top 10 sailors, completed the world's toughest solo ocean race, finishing 8th out of 30 competitors.

Steve proved himself not only a talented solo ocean racer competing alongside the top professional names in the sport, but also an excellent, colourful and good humoured communicator Steve's hard-wired desire to reach his goal and not to take no for an answer, is the most inspirational facet of a remarkable character.

Chris Ross, founder of specdepot.co.uk was at the start in Les Sables d'Olonne and said "what an awesome event, with 30 IMOCA 60's and over 300,000 spectators lining the marina and channel, it was a very emotional moment when the lines were slipped and A Toe in the Water left the dockside, I for one will be at the finish to cheer Steve and the other skippers home"

"We've done other sponsorship but the effectiveness of this has been unbelievable. We like to really get involved and Steve allowed us to become part of the team, be on the frontline at events, let our customers experience the real thing!
