Captain Profile - Richard Allen
Captains Profile
Richard Allen, former fisherman and now qualified lawyer, has been sailing competitively since the age of five. His success in competition and extensive sailing knowledge won him a coveted place on the 1996 New Zealand Olympic team. He travelled with the team to Savanna, Georgia, as both a reserve and an Olympic Committee media advisor for the Tornado class. When Richard purchased the Ranui he saw the perfect opportunity to fulfill a long held dream—to make the adventurous world of Pacific sailing and the many hidden wonders of New Zealand's natural coastline accessible to those with the desire to explore. Richard holds both his captains ticket and engineers ticket.
