I love being on the water and you can’t beat a 3 sail reach in a sports dinghy or a blast on a short board. I have been lucky enough to work in this industry for about half of my career.
My 15 years as a Principal/Manager in the Outdoor Education Industry means I am qualified to teach many water sports and am available as a water sports consultant specialising in dinghy sailing as an RYA Coach/Assessor.
I am one of the Royal Yachting Association (RYA) inspectorate team ensuring that standards are maintained within the Eastern Region and run Dinghy Instructor courses from time to time.
I also work part-time at two busy London centres and take school children from around where we live sailing each week through the summer.
I am qualified as follows:
RYA Coach/Assessor (Dinghies)
RYA Centre Inspector
Dinghy Advanced Instructor
Dinghy Racing Instructor
RYA Windsurfing Instructor (Level 2)
RYA Powerboat Instructor
BCU Closed Cockpit Kayak Instructor (Placid water)
BCU Canadian Canoe Instructor
Next up - kite surfing - just learning, not instructing!
