How old were you when you first stepped on a boat?
About 12. The boating scene in Moree wasn't huge.
If money (and sailing ability) were no limit, what boat would you buy?
I know I should nominate a sailing boat, but I've always fancied myself on one of those antique Halvorsen cruisers.
What is your ultimate sailing goal?
Can't say what the ultimate goal might be but at this stage just being part of the pack at DBSC races.
Tell us the story behind the name of your Laser?
The Beagle. My wifes suggestion which I quite like, though it does conjure an image of a slow old tub.
If you could add any ingredient to DBSC's world’s best toasties – what would it be?
Given I've never tried one the missing ingredient is my hands.
What are your second/third favourite hobbies (assuming sailing is #1)?
Tennis and book clubs
Describe what you do for work in less than five words?
Developing energy/infrastructure projects
What is the first international destination you will travel to (once we're allowed) and why?
Istanbul. I've just gone through a phase of reading books on the history of the Silk Road and Constantinople.
What is your favourite TV show, movie, and/or book?
Quest for Fire - I've always had a thing for caveman movies
Tell us something interesting about yourself that members of the club don’t know?
