Personal Goal / Quote: " I've always had a fascination in single handed ocean sailing. I've read all the books and followed all the famous voyages and races including the Trans Tasman. Finally, I've got myself into a position where I can set sail myself. I can't wait to follow in the wakes of kiwi solo legends like Bill Belcher, Tony Armit and Andrew Fagan. My kindred spirits."
