PROFILE

Started sailing at age 12 on a Paper Tiger with my Dad at McCrae Yacht Club. After 6 months of working every day after school I owned my very own Paper Tiger.

From here on I developed a great passion for sailing and I started competing in every regatta I possibly could and learning about racing as I went. After many years on my Paper Tiger I transferred to the A Class Catamaran at the age of 21. To this day I haven’t looked back! Travelling the world to sail at the best regattas against some of the best sailors is what sailing an A Class provides.
