Me...

I’m a shipwright and currently training as a commercial coxswain. I live on and sail my own Sigma 38. My training was in traditional wooden boat building, but now I mostly work on GRP boats and doing teak deck refurbs.
I'm looking to build miles and knowledge for my Yachtmaster. So far I've done lots of trips off the South coast of England, in other peoples boats as well as my own. Ive also spent lots of time cruising and exploring south coast of Cornwall, two trips to the Isles of Scilly, and many trips out into the Solent from my home berth of Southsea. I completed my Coastal Skipper at Commodore Yachting in Gosport, sailing out in the Solent, learning the exciting tides and busy lanes there.

Summer 2016 saw my partner and I charter a Beneteau Cyclades 39 in Brazil and spent 8 days sailing around Ilha Grande, Paraty, and Angra dos Reis - fantastic experience!

February 2017 sailing in the Caribbean - St Vincent and the Grenadines with a group of friends.

May 2018 bought my own classic wooden yacht - a 1953 Burmese teak 28 foot Fred Parker sailing yacht. My partner and I spent the summer stripping her back, fixing her up, installing an electrical system and lots and lots of varnishing!

July 2019 I sold up and bought the Moody, bringing her up to spec and preparing her to go on journeys further afield.

I'm very handy, having renovated my house mostly by myself, and used to working 12 - 14 hour shifts on low sleep levels. Definitely not afraid of hard work, and enjoy a good laugh afterwards.

I'm currently working building and maintaining hi spec ribs for the military, which involves hypalon repairs, grp repairs as well as crewing and helming on sea trials.

Good company and respectful of people's space and privacy.
