Richard Hammond

Richard 'Sighty' Hammond participated in 40 Sydney Hobart Yacht Races (indeed, he was the first person to reach the 40 race milestone), with his first race in 1952. In 2010 he sat down with Peter Shipway for this wide ranging interview, covering not only the Sydney Hobart but also the 1967 Admirals Cup and the 1979 Fastnet Race.
