Champions Profile
Profile:
Got the bug in the early seventies crewing for dad in a GP14 at Troon SC. Found a bit of speed somehow and went on to race in 420s with Gavin McGill to win Scottish Youth Championships. Represented GBR in IYRU Youth Worlds in 1977 under the watchful eye of Jim Saltonstall and came top ten of 32 countries entered.
Having raced numerous boats moved into RS300 around 2014, winning locally but at national level. Started to shine in the top ten three years later. In 2019 against Steve Bolland, Steve Cockerell and Steve Sallis won the Nationals.
Won the UK Flying Dutchman Nationals (with Mark Taylor) and been runner up at D-Zero Nationals in 2019 against Mr Bolland. Stork says “that was a bit of fun that one, I turned up as an unknown and unranked player, with a boat I’d bought the week before and had sailed once and set about upsetting the form book with Steve, we both sailed RS Style with loads of kicker and between us owned the pin! ….. who are these RS300 guys, where’d they come from! ….. Steve and I ended up on 14 and 15 points, 10 points ahead of 3rd ….. if you can sail an RS300 …… you can sail anything.”
Tips:
Tips: Sail regularly 3 to 4 times a week because the RS300 takes a lot of time on the water if you want to go fast.
Best speed tip ...hike 'til your legs fall off, keep it flat and in a breeze give it all the kicker you can going, upwind - downwind don't sit still and work hard.
To win regularly, live like a saint and never drink at night with Bolland, Acres, Sargent or that bloke McVicar.
Current Boats: RS300, D-Zero, Foiling Moth, B14 and Hornet
