Welcome to my blog. I pledge to be as insightful, entertaining and topical as possible, and provide more than a level dosing of enthusiasm as I bring you my thoughts on the latest yachts and equipment from the boatshows I visit, hot designs we receive off drawing boards worldwide, plus thoughts from boat and gear tests or from the rail of regattas.

Please do leave comments or suggestions, especially if there are particular designs or equipment you’d like to see covered more – or when you don’t agree with my impartial views, natural sarcasm or slightly peculiar tastes!
