Rolex Middle Sea Race 2026 | Stu Bannatyne – Pace

Stu Bannatyne’s enormous ocean racing experience - which includes wining four of the eight Volvo Ocean Races in which he competed - is a major asset to any offshore team. For the Middle Sea race he will be a watch leader aboard Johnny Vincent’s Volvo Open 70 Pace. He talks about the race and we also asked him about a recent interview he held with Andy Rice on why it can often be better to reef the mainsail early but keep more power in the headsails. @RolexMiddleSeaRace_
