I began sailing at the age of 5 and have had a successful career in yacht racing in dinghies, keelboats and windsurfing. This culminated in winning the Laser Masters World Championships in Ireland and again in Turkey. I have represented both South Africa (1980, 1982) and Australia (1994) at the Laser World Championships and was awarded Springbok Colours in 1980.
