Hi, I'm a relaxed person who's easy to be around and meticulous when performing tasks and roles. I've always been able to pick up new skills quickly and I'm keen to get the best out of experiences that come my way. I can lead solo night watches, cook, clean and perform basic maintenance on board. I've held a committee position at my university sailing club for 3 years including Commodore(President), Bosun and Social Secretary.
