Cruising:
After the usual raft of racing dinghies and other family boats, I graduated towards cruising, and during my three year stay in Australia I undertook the Tasman Sea crossing from Sydney to Auckland in 1970.
Back in the UK I owned a Hillyard 36, Gyngle Boy, based at Poole on the South Coast and cruising the French Canals during 1970s. The family preferred horses so after selling the Hillyard sailing was restricted to occasional weeks with friends.
Sadler 34 Shepton Dancer from 1999 to 2007; cruising included London both sides of the Channel as well as Dutch inland waterways and Ireland. Extensive chartered cruising in Croatia, Tonga, USA and Canada and North East Spain.
Current boat J42 Sky Hunter, with which extended cruising to Gibraltar and the Canaries, followed by participation in ARC 2005 across to St Lucia. In 2007, after two Antigua Sailing Weeks and local cruising, I cruised to Boston and Maine and then back across the Atlantic and into the Mediterranean where she has since been based. Currently in Cartagena, Spain about to return towards Turkey.
Clubs:

History, Objectives and Aspirations for OCC:
I am a Chartered Accountant, now retired, but with much experience in the commercial world.
I joined the OCC in January 2015. My previous Club experience includes various committee work at the Royal Thames Yacht Club over a period of ten years, including three years as Finance and Membership Rear Commodore.
I was appointed Treasurer of the OCC in 2016, an appointment cut short by my becoming Vice Commodore of Royal Thames Yacht Club in 2017.
The Ocean Cruising Club is a very different club, with a growing global membership whose demands will continually change as time moves forwards. I look forward to again being part of the management of this club.
