Oliver Beardon is the founder of Sail Britain, an interdisciplinary sailing, arts, and ocean research project. He has a particular interest in interdisciplinary approaches in a research and expedition environment, and has many years of experience leading groups of young people on expeditions.
With Sail Britain, he undertakes trips with focus ranging from marine acoustic mapping research, to tracing ancient sea routes and exploring the cultural heritage and identity of remote islands.
Oliver holds a commercially endorsed Yachtmaster ticket and has sailed extensively around the UK, the Baltic, Norway and the Mediterranean, but is especially drawn to the wild outlying fringes of Scotland.
