How old were you when you first stepped on a boat?
I travelled to England when I was 1. No memory of it, but photo below. First sailed with my parents on a teak sailing boat which had been built in Hong Kong and was sailed to Australia in 1879 (or so I was told). Sabots when aged 7

If money (and sailing ability) were no limit, what boat would you buy?
Cruising boat. An Amel 54 would do nicely

What is your ultimate sailing goal?
No goals other than sailing a little better each time I go out

Tell us the story behind the name of your Laser?
It doesn’t have a name. Just a number - no reason.

If you could add any ingredient to DBSC's world’s best toasties – what would it be?
Avocado and chilli jam. Not sure that anything would truly improve them though

What are your second/third favourite hobbies (assuming sailing is #1)?
Pilates and cruising art galleries

Describe what you do for work in less than five words?
Fix people’s arteries and veins (now just veins) - a sort of plumber

What is the first international destination you will travel to (once we're allowed) and why?
Italy - art

What is your favourite TV show, movie, and/or book?
Any book by Vasily Grossman

Tell us something interesting about yourself that members of the club don’t know?
I tried really hard with this question, but I am afraid there is nothing there to tell!
