RACE HEADQUARTERS
The BT Global Challenge Race Headquarters will be manned 24 hours a day by a team of 3
Race Officers and the Race Office Manager.
Race Office Manager - Adrian Rayson
Overseeing the Race Office operations is Adrian Rayson.
His job of managing the day to day running of the Race
Office for the BT Global Challenge will be quite different
from the British Steel Challenge 1992/93 where he was
a crew member aboard Heath Insured. His recent background
is in Logistics and Events Management, but was formerly
a sale and purchase shipbroker based in the City of
London and Singapore. Latterly he has managed agricultural
resourced projects in Africa.
Race Officers Anne Prees
Liz Botting
Paul White
Anne Prees is a keen dinghy and keelboat sailor. Whilst
in the Royal Navy Anne did a long stint as an Air Traffic
Controller and then worked as a Coastguard at HM Coastguard
Station in Lee-on-Solent. Anne has been a Race Officer
before, on the 1989-90 Whitbread Race, so she is well
used to standing long watches with only VDUs for company.
Liz Botting is an ex-satellite Engineer and ex-Marketing
Communications Manager in the Marine industry who has
been sailing since the age of 4. She is a Match Race
Umpire and On-water judge, and her umpiring duties
have taken her to many overseas regattas, including
one in Siberia!.
Paul White has his own company working in marine maintenance.
He undertakes sail training, yacht maintenance and
deliveries. Paul was a Race Officer during the 1992-93
British Steel Challenge, so he knows what he is up
against!.
