Jack Trigger Sailing

New world record on the Fastnet course!! What a team! 595nm, 25hrs 4mins 8secs, average speed 23.73 knots. Awesome photos @Lloyd_Images #worldrecord #oceanracing #sailing #type1diabetes

This Diabetes Week, I'm joining @DiabetesUK to paint #TheBigPicture of life with diabetes. There are 4.8 million people living with diabetes in the UK, and @DiabetesUK are fighting for a better future for all of them. Find out how: bit.ly/2XRAxN0

I am now an ambassador for @AbbottNews and @FreeStyleDiabet! If you’ve ever wondered about the little round disc on my arm that isn’t just a fashion accessory.. It’s called #FreeStyleLibre and is a glucose monitor. There is no way I could sail offshore on my own without it.

Great to win the Buoee de Base Terre trophy in the Route du Rhum for fastest time from the Base Terre Buoy to the finish line! #RDR2018

Tasty!

Congratulations to my friend @yoannrichomme for winning the @routedurhumENG you sailed a great race! @AssoClass40 #rdr2018 #class40

Sunrise is when I start hand steering, the pilot is good but especially in the day time I can drive faster, so I’m hand steering for about 10 hours a day. Then at night I’ll drive through the squalls, but mostly try & sleep, eat, navigate etc - all the other important stuff!

Champagne sailing mid Atlantic racing in the @routedurhumENG currently in 8th place chasing down the leading pack. Buzzing from posts from #WorldDiabetesDay yesterday #RdR2018

I use a @MedtronicUK @medtronic pump to manage my insulin levels whilst sailing solo. Currently competing in @routedurhumENG in the middle of Atlantic! #WorldDiabetesDay

Managing Type 1 Diabetes whilst racing solo offshore across the Atlantic. Jack tells us how he manages the condition in an extreme & remote environment @DiabetesUK #WorldDiabetesDay
