I moved from bikie to boatie ....... click here for some of the boats, cars & motorbikes I have owned. |
|

|
I started sailing Enterprise dinghies in the UK shortly before moving to Sydney, Australia. After a short dabble with water skiing I returned to sailing and a very neat Heron (Sail # 7171) was the first to fill the garage. Great small family boat for racing, social sailing and picnics (with an outboard!). |
|
As the family grew I moved up to a Hartley TS16 which I renamed Tack Ticks. It really was just a grown up dinghy, but did have space for the family dog! |
 |
 |
We dabbled with a Laser, but this was really just to get the boys into racing (at BYRA - Bayview Yacht Racing Association). |
And then we moved to Perth and after a couple of
seasons crewing I purchased my first
yacht in 1991 - a very competitive Endeavour 26 which I renamed Strange
Times. |
|
|
|
I then moved into "cruising mode"
in 1996 and here's my Spacesailer
24 Céilidh. Click here for Spacesailer 24 photographs and information. |
|
In 2001 I moved up into a Van De Stadt 30 (Pion) named Ling Kong. |
|
|
|
...... mid-2006 and Ling Kong had to go as part of retirement planning. January 2007 and a move to a new home in Broome in the north west of Western Australia. Couldn't keep off the water for long, so purchase of a Hobie Bravo. In addition, fun and games by joining the Sea Rescue and driving Redbill II. |
Go on, enjoy yourself - have some fun outside for a
change! Go on down to Broome
Sailing Club and just
join in. I guarantee BSC will get you on a boat for a sail!
