Sailed dinghies from 1965. From 1974-92 raced 1/4 and 1/2 ton IOR yachts, mostly on NE coast, including return passages to The Netherlands. From 1992 based in Nottingham (and as itโs about as far as one can get from the sea in the U.K.) owning and racing flying fifteens mainly inland with only occasional outings on the sea. Since retirement in late 2024 I have been working towards the Yacht-master Offshore qualification. World sailing ID GBRIS47
