Steve

Owner and skipper

Steve started sailing dinghies as a boy. Later he started sailing with the family on a cruising yacht around the Scottish islands. He has skippered boats in British waters as well as in the Greek and Italian Med and in France. He has been involved with deliveries of boats in the Caribbean and Mediterranean and has sailed thousands of miles on the beautiful 1939 Fred Shepherd yawl Amokura. This culminated in an exhilarating Fastnet race in 2021. Steve was half of the two handed crew and they were given a gong for being the oldest boat to cross the line.

He is fully qualified to Yachtmaster Offshore with commercial endorsement.

Originally trained as a wood-worker, Steve worked for many years in film and TV production and in the construction industry. He’s very practical and can fix just about anything. He’s passionate about boats and sailing. His enthusiasm is infectious. He believes that everyone has something to give and something to gain from sailing and he loves to share the excitement with people new to the world of boats.

Occasionally Steve has been known to talk about non boat subjects.

Oh… and he makes a pretty good pudding.
