Rick Tomlinson RECYCLED // Whitbread Racing & Photography

#178 RECYCLED. Rick Tomlinson is one of yachting's most accomplished photographers. What I didn't know before we met, was how accomplished he is as a sailor. Rick was a crew member on four consecutive Whitbread Races, and literally invented the modern concept of onboard reporter. Back in his day, Rick was an integral member of the sailing crew - he took photos onboard as a hobby, on his off-watches, and even developed film in the galley sink offshore! Mia and I traveled to Rick's beautiful studio in Cowes on the Isle of Wight last September to chat about his career.
