Chris Lewis - or Lew as he’s better known to most - was the navigator aboard LawConnect when she won Line Honours in 2023. Some of you may remember the great interview he gave us from the dock shortly after that win, providing insights into exactly what the navigator’s role is in those close combat, nail-biting moments.

Lew is back for more with LawConnect in 2024, so we caught up with him at the CYCA on Christmas Eve and asked him if he would take us through the race forecast step by step, using the European model on PredictWind’s website.
