About Sam
In 1992, I inherited a partially built hull from my Dad, who’s dream had been to sail around the world. The boat took me seven years to finish and every penny I earned during that time.
I’ve been sailing ever since – from Scotland to the Mediterranean, in SE Asia and most recently in the Caribbean. What started as a promise to my father has become my lifetime passion.
I’m a sailor, commercial skipper, a small yacht surveyor and I’ve built, sailed, refitted, owned and maintained sailing boats for 30 years… and I still love it!
On this site I hope you find something to inspire and help you on your sailing journey.
