I am an enthusiastic & passionate sailor, fortunate to have the luxury of a bit of free time. Having sailed dinghies since childhood, I started sailing larger yachts about 7 years ago, mainly out of CYCA in Sydney. I’ve subsequently raced 5 Sydney Hobarts, the 2025 Fastnet, various Offshore and Harbour Series in Australia & UK, 3 Hamilton Island Race Weeks, and competed in the 2024 Nastro Rosa EUROSAF Figaro3 Mixed Double Handed Offshore European Championships under a Dutch flag. I have completed numerous coastal deliveries and in 2024 assisted delivering Kialoa ll from Tahiti to UK via Panama, Antigua and the Azores. I have current Sea Safety Survival & First Aid Certificates, Radio Operators License, a Coxswain Grade 1 (Near Coastal) Certificate and been actively involved in boat provisioning and meal prep during races. In my previous life I was a Registered Land Surveyor and my other interests include skiing, cycling, music and travel.

I have been sailing for 10 years on a mix of dinghies and keel/sports boats having just come from Radley College sailing, of which I was captain. I have boatswain's and master boatswain's qualifications from the CCF (of which I was again head and rated Warrant Officer in the RN section). I am also qualified to PB2 in both planing and displacement craft, as well as this, I have my Coastal Skipper.

Mastman. Foredeck boss. Watch leader. “Quite useful”. Also quite thirsty. Love to race.

Life time of sailing, inc. ocean, offshore, round cans and cruising around the Channel and Baltic; YM Offshore with all the tickets for Fastnet. My sailing philosophy is that it's about getting from pub to pub via water, sometimes this means going balls-out asymmetric and other times it's a cruising chute with a bottle of Goslings. Willing to do any role on the boat as long as it's a happy boat on the water and in the bar! Also enjoy informal coaching and instructing and one day will get round to doing CI exam. Live in Lymington, Hampshire, and my happy place is sailing beyond the sight of land. Looking to develop ocean passage planning skills in readiness for ARC 2030 and world tour!
