I have always be keen on my Watersports but have only recently qualified as a dinghy instructor last summer, working in both Greece and Cyprus. After returning home for winter I gained my keelboat endorsement in the Solent as part of my university course in Adventure and outdoor management. I am now working towards competent crew for the race.
