Like father, a son of the sea

A SCOTS sailor is attempting to circumnavigate the world in the same boat his father used when he completed the journey almost 40 years ago.

Douglas Mill, 27, will be a crew member on Outlaw for the 27,000-mile 2023 Ocean Globe Race. His father Alastair, 63, took part in the 1985-86 race onboard Outlaw, then named Equity & Law. The event is contested by yachts designed before 1988 and modern navigation equipment including satellites and GPS is banned.

Glaswegian Douglas, who now works in New Zealand, said: ‘What appeals to me about the race is it retains that same spirit of adventure as when he took part.’
