About Me

---

       Hello and welcome to my website.

      Since my parents took me sailing at the age of three months on Poole Harbour I've been in and around boats. Sure I hated sailing with my parents as a teen, but since then I've loved it. First as a Dinghy instructor, then as a school principal in Wales, I have also taught in Greece and Australia. In my twenties I was a Yachtmaster Instructor in the UK then I went across the Atlantic to run the sailing. school and marina at Bitter End Yacht Club, BVI.

       After I got 'Island Fever' I spent a wonderful year taking a Baltic 51 from Newport RI to San Diego before returning to the 'Northeast' to finish he build of a custom Hinckley 57 which I was lucky enough to circumnavigate over three years. Since the I've been privileged to work with a small group of highly experienced and knowledgeable owners building Baltics, Wallys, Swans and other custom projects. I thank them all.

       Welcome to a small insight of what I'm currently doing, I hope you find it interesting and if you need a bit of help or would like to know more  please get in touch.

Best regards, Phil.
