David Evenden has joined the club after purchasing James Johnson’s laser. If you see him around the club, please be sure to give him a warm welcome. In the meantime, here is a little about David to help you get to know him.
How old were you when you first stepped on a boat?
My family came back to Australia from Europe on P & O’s Arcadia when I was 5 years old. I must have been 7 or 8 when I went on my first sailboat, with a school mate and his dad on Pittwater.
If money (and sailing ability) were no limit, what boat would you buy?
A Pogo 40, because this makes me excited: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osFEjGyXMZI
What is your ultimate sailing goal?
Cruising the Pacific. And doing a few offshore races with my own crew.
Tell us the story behind the name of your Laser?
I bought “Question of Balance” from barrister James Johnson, who I came to know recently. Knowing how hard it is to keep a work/life balance in the legal profession, I thought it was a reference to maintaining sanity in a busy world. It only just dawned on me that it may also relate to keep the boat upright!
If you could add any ingredient to DBSC's world’s best toasties – what would it be?
Olives and sun-dried tomatoes! They are one ingredient, aren’t they?
What are your second/third favourite hobbies (assuming sailing is #1)?
Cycling and ocean swimming.
Describe what you do for work in less than five words?
I represent families at coronial inquests.
What is the first international destination you will travel to (once we're allowed) and why?
Bali, because it has so much to offer.
What is your favourite TV show, movie, and/or book?
The move Sideways because I love wine and am intrigued by failed characters and renewal.
Tell us something interesting about yourself that members of the club don’t know?
I sea kayaked to Papua New Guinea in my early 20s, before the crocodile population in northern Queensland exploded.
