Here is 60 seconds with Yves.
How old were you when you first stepped on a boat?
5y.o., Manly Junior, DBSC, 1969.
If money (and sailing ability) were no limit, what boat would you buy?
I’d have 3. An AC40, a Moth, and a 505.
What is your ultimate sailing goal?
I think the best thing in life is to sail every week at your club and share a beer with your friends afterwards, so sail every Saturday at DBSC!
Tell us the story behind the name of your Laser?
Sailing is … Air Play
If you could add any ingredient to DBSC's world’s best toasties – what would it be?
These toasties are made with love. What more would you need?
What are your second/third favourite hobbies (assuming sailing is #1)?
Reading, bush walking, yoga, chess and Rugby (purely a spectator)
Describe what you do for work in less than five words?
I write and produce stories.
What is the first international destination you will travel to (once we're allowed) and why?
Probably Bologna, for the next international children’s book fair
What is your favourite TV show, movie, and/or book?
Favourite TV show - Breaking Bad, Favourite Movie - The Lives Of Others, Favourite Book - The Unbearable Lightness Of Being
Tell us something interesting about yourself that members of the club don’t know?
With my kids, I won the 2018/19Mirror Dinghy Australian Champs & 2nd in Worlds (both Classic Division) and managed WSC for several months in 2019 overseeing the Sail Sydney Regatta. Great fun!
