| Approaching 50 far too fast and seeking adventures before I'm too old! I have sailed since I was a kid in Toppers and Lasers. Have progressed to cruisers and obtained my Day Skippers qualification. I'm ex-Royal Navy Reserve, ex-Police Officer and now a business owner and Managing Director. I'm reasonably fit, a good decision maker, leader and able to take charge when/where required. Having said that, I enjoy cooking, fishing and the odd glass of wine. The ARC is very much on my bucket list and I really hope to achieve this sometime soon! | |
