MONTEL FAGAN-JORDAN (GBR)|
| | Nomination |
Seventy three per cent
of pupils at London’s
Greig City Academy
are categorised as
‘disadvantaged’ so when sixth form
head Jon Holt started a sailing
programme in 2013 it was a brave
move. Last year Montel’s young crew
completed the Fastnet Race on the
IOR racer Scaramouche. To get there
Montel had delivered more than 50
fundraising talks… receiving support
and mentoring along the way from
his own sailing hero Lawrie Smith
