1. How old were you when you first stepped on a boat? My family lived 100 metres from Lane Cove Sailing Club. My father had a yacht and my brother Alick had a variety of dinghies. Robert Lowndes used to spend weekends at our house and go sailing with Alick. I was too young to now recall the first time I was on a boat. 2. If money (and sailing ability) were no limit, what boat would you buy? A Laser, or an Etchell (if I could organise the crew).3. What is your ultimate sailing goal? To keep sailing lasers until I am the same age as Julian van Aalst.4. Tell us the story behind the name of your Laser? Dragonfly – we have a pond in our garden which is regularly visited by these beautiful creatures. My younger daughter suggested it.5. If you could add any ingredient to DBSC’s world’s best toasties – what would it be?
