Sailing since I was 6yrs old and have owned keelboats since 1991. I have sailed everything from dinghyโ€™s to Ngalawaโ€™s ( native lateen rigged hollowed out mango trees with outriggers) down the east coast of Africa, with two years as an IMOCA 60 skipper. My current boat is a 76ft Baltic Pilothouse cutter named Tabasco. I have a strong short and singlehanded racing background, with the last few years making extended ocean voyages. My wife and I intend on taking Tabasco to Australia in 2027
