Sailed each summer and latterly instructed youth sailing.

Competed in RS Feva Nationals (Weymouth) in 2016 and sailed singlehanded around the Isle of Wight in 2020, raising over £17k for a local charity. Some larger keel boat sailing including Royal Yacht Squadron J109 Youth Training Course in J109s (April 2019) and bareboat cruising with family in Mallorca, Croatia and Greece in an array of 45-50’ sailboats.
