Two years to the day (19th September) I elected to have two prolapsed discs removed from my neck (and the three vertebrae in my neck fused). This forced me to take over six months out of sailing but I felt it was my only option if I wanted to continue professional sailing...

Straight after the prize giving at the Radial Nationals (in Paignton) I headed back to Weymouth to drop off the boats and see my girlfriend, May, before driving to my parents’ house in East Grinstead (near London). ...
Well my aim after the Europeans was to have a textbook regatta at the Nationals. However it was not to be...

I initially changed from the Laser standard rig to the Radial after an especially windy European Championships in Cascais, Portugal...
I initially got into water sports through a youth organisation called the Nautical Training Corps (NTC) where I did every outdoor activity imaginable. As well as sailing I particularly enjoyed kayaking and I was a good paddler. In 2000 I went to Loughborough University to read Chemical Engineering...
My latest job was running a Byte CII clinic in the Cayman Islands. I actually won the Byte World Championship in August last year at the WPNSA and so I was asked to come and run the training which saw sailors come from as far a field as Singapore...
