I have been fortunate enough to have worked in the marine industry in one form or another for the last 20 years. From cleaning and handing over of new boats, through harbour maintenance, harbour taxi service, and boat hire to managing a Chandlery shop, I have done pretty much everything.

I was born in Salcombe and live and breathe boats. I have sailed, rowed, motored, windsurfed and water-skied as long as I can remember.

This has given me invaluable experience and knowledge of the products that would best suit an individual situation and provide the ideal solution for your needs.

Since 2002 I have been self-employed, during this time as well as my main work in the maintenance and care of boats of all sizes, I have also carried a large number of yacht/boat deliveries as well as carrying out rigging work. I have worked extensively as an instructor with Salcombe Powerboat School -

Since 1993 I have been a member of the Salcombe Lifeboat crew and have been involved in a large number of rescues. This has given me the opportunity to undertake a great deal training.

Recently the lifeboat station has taken delivery of a new Inshore Atlantic 75 and I am one of the helms of the new boat. You can keep up to date with all the ‘shouts’ at www.salcombelifeboat.org.uk
