Q&A

Q: How long have you been boating and what made you start? Cant remember. Been licensed since 1989. Grew up at sea.

Q: Where’s your favourite boating destination? Cant say. Probably seas with longer length swell, warm and then again really cold. Authentic places with friendly local people.

Q: What is your favourite boat and why? The boat where me and my crew feels comfortable in every point of seaworthiness. Can be lazy monohull or big cat or fast racer, etc. doesnt matter really. Can be team of adventure hungry guys or laizy sunseeking family excursion. Purpose sanction the ways...

Q: Gin and Tonic in a beautiful anchorage or trimming the sails to get an extra half knot? Definitely both

Q: What are your sailing ambitions? What’s the next challenge? Just try everything. Different boats, different seas.
