Be Your Own Sailing Coach
It was nice to end the season on a high with a win at the Radial Inlands at Rutland where 104 sailors competed in the light winds. I was pushed hard by Cameron Douglas and Tom Britz, both names to look out for in the future. Perhaps one or both could be a future Youth World Champion...

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...
When I first landed in Canada (Montreal airport) I thought I was in France (everyone was speaking French and all the signs seemed to be in French!) However upon leaving the airport, I thought I was back in Japan as it was so hot and humid, especially considering it was late evening...
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...
The Radial Europeans was my first major event of 2009 and after finishing third in 2008 just three points off winning the event I felt it was unfinished business...
It may seem strange after Team Alinghi just launched a giant 90 foot Catamaran (Alinghi 5) to defend the 33rd America’s Cup while at present there is no Catamaran class set to race in the 2012 Olympics (one could well argue that there should be two events, one for Men and one for Women, like o...
I am absolutely delighted to announce a new sponsor, Neil Pryde. It has been a difficult season for me so far which started with a leaky boat which I finally managed to sort out ready for the Holland Europa Cup...
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...
