MIKE GOLDING, OBE

Mike Golding has been awarded the OBE in the Queen’s New Year Honours in recognition of his heroic rescue of colleague Alex Thomson in the Velux 5 Oceans Solo Race.

Golding turned back 80 miles, despite lying second, on hearing that Thomson, lying third, was adrift in a life raft in heavy seas, 1000 miles from the Cape of Good Hope.
