Erik has been sailing since he
was a kid in the Caribbean and still can’t get
enough of it. Experience includes fast tacking on
dutch inland waterways (and don’t try to overtake
him, because he knows where the shallow patches
are!); sailing several summers and winters in
T-Bird (30') on Scotland’s west-coast, single-
& short-handed; multiple Atlantic crossings;
and various National Championship races in
dinghies (though, to be fair, maybe not in
countries with the hottest competition _).
Siobhan is the realisation of a long-term dream.
Maybe not (quite) as expensive as a wife, but she
does what she’s asked and will remain beautiful.
Luckily for everyone else, Erik has an
adventurer’s spirit coupled with a love of
company. He is a willing and patient teacher, and
generally fun to be around. Few things command his
respect more than being keen to sail!
