How old were you when you first stepped on a boat?
Seven or eight years old. I started sailing Herons on Narrabeen Lake as a kid.
If money (and sailing ability) were no limit, what boat would you buy?
Something big, comfortable and liveable for weekends and long holidays.
What is your ultimate sailing goal?
To stop making excuses and do more of it.
Tell us the story behind the name of your Laser?
Maladroit, who I’ve recently parted ways with, is French for “clumsy”, which is apt.
If you could add any ingredient to DBSC's world’s best toasties – what would it be?
Pineapple (and if I can add a second, tomato paste - the best toastie is a pizza toastie).
What are your second/third favourite hobbies (assuming sailing is #1)?
Crosswords and sleep.
Describe what you do for work in less than five words?
Putting preposterous propositions persuasively.
What is the first international destination you will travel to (once we're allowed) and why?
France. Maybe. Or anywhere. It would be nice to just get away.
What is your favourite TV show, movie, and/or book?
The Sopranos, Forrest Gump and maybe Birdsong.
Tell us something interesting about yourself that members of the club don’t know?
I pride myself in being completely uninteresting.
