How old were you when you first stepped on a boat?
Apparently mum and dad took me away for one month on a 17 foot trailer yacht when I was three months old. I first started racing with dad when I was 6.
If money (and sailing ability) were no limit, what boat would you buy?
The next generation AC75 (Team NZ version of course)
What is your ultimate sailing goal?
To be regularly competitive at the front of the Radial fleet
Tell us the story behind the name of your Laser?
I was once going to set up a company and I wanted a short domain name and of course blink.com was taken so I went for blynk.com. Seemed like it would suit a name for a laser.
If you could add any ingredient to DBSC's world’s best toasties – what would it be?
Spicy salami and jalapeno peppers.
What are your second/third favourite hobbies (assuming sailing is #1)?
Travelling and golf. With any luck golf will be replaced next summer by wing foiling
Describe what you do for work in less than five words?
Generate electricity from ocean waves
What is the first international destination you will travel to (once we're allowed) and why?

Tell us something interesting about yourself that members of the club don’t know?
Back in the nineties while living in London I got to move WInston Churchill's house, including all kinds of expensive antiques from back in the day when he was the British prime minister. OK, it was Winston Churchill Junior's house.
