Winner of the Old Pulteney Maritime Hero of the year award 2018 and runner up in the Yachts and Yachting Achievement of the Year 2016, my talks are about charity adventure dinghy sailing . The talks are not designed just for sailors, but for everyone. Focussing on the emotional roller coaster, and the physical/mental challenges that such extreme adventures bring with them. The story is told with the addition of "on baord" video footage and stunning photos enabling you discover the stunning scenry and intriguing places of the UK coastline. Each adventure is full of unusual situations which bring to life the human side of taking on such unusual challenges. The talks are given solely with the aim of raising money for two charities, Cancer Research and Oakhaven Hospice and I take no formal fee - just a donation to the charities. Two talks are available: "Race To Scotland" - the story of sailing a dinghy twice as big as your bath tub from Lands End to John O Groats; "Going Dizzy in a Dinghy" - the story of trying to become the first person to dinghy sail round all the 250 plus islands in England and Wales.
