Sailing
History: Be it Navy Ships, powerboats, windsurfers,
kayaks, kite-boards, keelboats or dinghies, Dave enjoys skimming across
the water in anything that floats! Currently he is endeavouring
to master the challenge of a Musto Skiff in the fresh breezes at his
home club, Stokes Bay, in the busy Solent waters. A relative newcomer to the Wayfarer fleet, Dave is already making regular appearances on the podium. A 4th place finish in the 2012 UK National Championships, for W10855 Studland Seahorse with Geof Gibbons, was sufficient to clinch the UKWA Best Newcomers Trophy, this was soon followed by a double victory in Pool week where the Seahorse galloped to the front to take the overall honours and Dave also bagged the crews race. In September in a change of boat and country, he teamed up with Monica in W10562 Short Fuse and together they secured the top spot in the Shannon Raid having won 8 of the 11 races in a 220km adventure race on the Shannon waterway in Ireland. |
