I’m a sailor from Point Yacht Club. Sailed hobbies and windsurfers in my teens and 20’s then I moved into the air sports like skydiving and hang gliding. I’m an avid hiker and done much of our Drakensberg. Have been to base camp in Nepal too. I started sailing in Dec 2019 after doing a paddle in 2-man Kayak around Maurituis with Les Willows from Willow adventures. This is where I saw people sailing keelboats an Cats in all the little coves. 2020 I started sailing keelboats.
