Sailing Experience
|
|
|
|
|
I started sailing at the age of eight on my father’s 25ft yacht. Later I sailed 16ft hoby catamarans for sport at high school, crewed in regular Saturday races on an 18ft yacht at my local yacht club and spent a week on a charter yacht sailing the Whitsunday Islands.
I qualified as a Yachtmaster in August 2003, after completing a four-month professional sail-training programme at the Hamble School of Yachting in the UK.
In October 2003 I crewed as First Mate, delivering a 33ft Kalik from Dublin, Ireland to Las Palmas, Gran Canaria.
In September 2004 I delivered a 44ft Legend from the Solent, UK to Cascais, Portugal. On this trip I was employed as the Skipper and the two owners were my crew.
I have been working full time as a freelance Skipper and Cruising Instructor in the Solent, UK since January 2004.
