David Scott-Cowper
OCC Award - 1986

Two years later he repeated the feat the other way, becoming the first person to circumnavigate Cape Horn singlehanded in both directions. He then switched to motorboats, and in 1984/5 circumnavigated westabout in the 42ft MABEL E HOLLAND, a converted ex-RNLI wooden lifeboat, becoming the first person to circumnavigate solo in a motor boat.
