Sailing

Sailing has been my great passion since the age of eight, when I had the opportunity to sail on the Silhouette of my Deputy Headmaster, Bob Woods Taylor, from Brandy Hole Yacht Club on the River Crouch in Essex.  I got into huge trouble that day, and I really should have been taking part in a school country dancing display.  However, I know I made the right decision, and messing about in boats has been a big part of my life ever since!!

"Rainbow Aileen" is my beloved Drascombe Longboat. She is named in memory of my dear Mum.
