Ken Read trading sailing advice for biz tips with Richard Branson and Jim Clark

Kenny is skippering Hanuman, one of the five behemoth 130’+ (40 meter) J class sloops  sailing together for the first time ever in the Caribbean at the St. Barths Bucket Regatta (Mar 28-31). It will be the first time since the 1930s, considered the J Boats’ Golden Era, that so many have converged for a single racing event. The other four are Lionheart, Rainbow, Ranger and Velsheda.
