Biography

I am an experienced sailor and have sailed my whole life. Had my own boat at the age of 8 a Minnow. At the age of 13 started sailing 125s, a two person boat where I was the skipper. At the same time I was a crew member on a Corsair. Where we went on to win the Victorian state titles. By the time I was old enough to drive, I was racing Hobie catamarans and sailing windsurfers. Owned a Sonata 8 keelboat for several years. I have sailed over 7,500 nautical miles and raced in such events as the Sydney to Hobart. During the last S2H I was navigator and 2IC. I have also had the opportunity of racing in the Whitsundays. Airlie Beach race week and Magnetic Island race week. Delivering and returning boats up and down the east coast.
