- About Me:
-
I’m a reasonably fit man interested in sailing, reading, walking and travelling generally. I am divorced- a long time ago, have two children and four grandchildren, two of whom live in the USA with my daughter. I visit them frequently. I worked as a teacher in schools, FE Colleges and Universities retiring at sixty when I continued part time work as a consultant for various British and European Universities and the United Nations.
- Sailing Experience:
-
I’ve been sailing since childhood. I built my first boat, an Enterprise sailing dinghy, as a teenager and sailed and raced her whilst at University.
Since then I’ve owned 11 sailing boats, four wooden and the rest fibreglass, usually working on them then selling them on, acquiring a slightly bigger one each time.
I’ve sailed from Poole, The East Coast Rivers and for the past 15 years, the Isle of Wight. I’ve done some racing but prefer cruising.
My cruising area has been, and still is, the English Channel between the West Country and North Brittany, up to the East Coast Rivers and across the southern North Sea to Holland and Belgium.
I regularly sail between Cowes and the River Orwell where my son keeps his boat. I’ve sailed in Greece on charter boats and along Long Island Sound in the USA when my daughter kept a yacht there.
I’ve got a Yachtmasters certificate and my current boat, a Westerly Discus is, is fitted out for single handed sailing. In company with two other boats I recently cruised to the West Country.
