| I am 56 years of age. A former lawyer, now retired. I have been sailing for 30 years, formerly owned a Moody 45 DS, which I sold in 2020. For the next 6 months I fully refitted a Hardy 42 Commodore and enjoyed cruising the SW coast of England, the Isles of Scilly, Channel Isles. The call of the wind won me back to saling and I bought a Hallberg Rassey 44 which for the last 5 months I have been kitting out for an Atlantic Circuit. New watermaker, solar and sat comms to name a few additions! I have not logged my miles, but suggest it’s north of 15000. I was crew on an Oyster 45 on the 2012 ARC, which was a wonderful experience. I have raced in the Solent and the Caribbean and cruised the Med, UK and Norwegian waters. I am a team player, competent sailor and very much like to sail with like minded people. | |
