Present yourself:

Hi,

I have had a passion for being on the water all my life, I have lived on a canal boat in the UK since I was born and joined the Sea Cadets when I was 11. I love watersports and have qualifications in rowing, kayaking, sailing and windsurfing. I have my Powerboat 2 license with quite a lot of experience driving smaller boats as a safety boat while teaching younger children. I also really enjoy travelling.

I have around 900nm experience sailing in the North Sea and English Channel on board tall ships, which I really enjoyed. I feel confident on board ships, I am a quick and eager learner.

For the past couple years I had a job cleaning the outsides of canal boats for hire, but I also have another job at Subway in a motorway service station, both part-time. I enjoy working at both of these places, we have a nice team with interesting people.

I am now looking to get my foot into the yachting industry and I am really excited to develop my skills.
