Back to school season is here, which got me thinking about kids, sailing and the fun I’ve had with them on the various boats I have raced on. Whenever I've had the chance to take youngsters out sailing, I’ve done so. And our Lending Club program in 2015 was the ideal opportunity to get as many people out on the water with the full support of our sponsor. In each port we stopped at, we had a strict OPEN boat policy, welcoming as many people as possible to come and take a look

Summer has been exciting and busy, I am very happy to be working with the Safran Sailing Team IMOCA program and skipper Morgan Lagraviere who will be taking the start of the ‪Vendee Globe‬ on November 6, 2016. It has already been an active year for Safran with two transatlantic races under the belt and we've just completed a final summer refit. The boat was just launched and now we're switching to training mode. Really looking forward to getting out on the water with the team
