Superyacht writer
I grew up in The Bahamas where my father, a Laser champion, owned a Finn class dinghy. Aged seven I began helming our family yacht — Britain's smallest at 8m — moored in Falmouth, England. I have since sailed the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Arabian Gulf and South China Sea, and visited shipyards and owners across the Netherlands, Turkey, China and Arabia.

My superyacht writing appears in Boat International. I have co-edited ten issues of Camper & Nicholsons award-wining SEA+I magazine. Commercial clients include Heesen, Bluewater, Y.CO, Edmiston and Hill Robinson.
