William will be sailing on a trimaran called the "Cheekee Monkee" along with his teammates. He says the fun name is a reflection of their personalities. But things weren't always fun - an older version of the boat actually capsized back in 2007!

This year happens to be the 20th anniversary of the Van Isle 360° Sailing Race. This marks twenty years of blood, sweat and tears from passionate sailors coming from British Columbia and beyond.
