Second Officer
First Officer
M/Y Shadowl
The best learning experience was running two busy yard periods in place of the Captain, the second with a full super structure paint job and both with hurricanes passing close by Thunderbolt shipyard, this forced a lot of creative thinking to get the yacht back into service on time with the yard in some disarray after the TRS’s departed.
Oct 2016 - Oct 2018
Captain/Engineer
M.Y Belize
Challenge balancing the bridge, deck and engineering roles and well as many jobs ashore at the estate and businesses.
Jan 2016 - Jun 2016
Relief Captain/Engineer
M.Y Fortuna
Undertook two busy refit periods. Navigating in thick fog amongst lobster pots in Maine was a learning experience.
Jun 2015 - Oct 2015
Second Officer
M.Y Meamina
My biggest learning experience on this vessel was encountering Somali Pirates while on watch transiting Bab al-Mandab Strait in the HRA, even the moderate sea state made spotting the 4 skiffs difficult and it was our Marine lookout on the sundeck who spotted them in time to allow us to react. The other big challenge on Meamina was chartering in the Maldives with all the charts, except the anchorage and port at Male, made in the 1830’s by lead line surveys with no geodetic reference datum for accuracy.
Nov 2012 - Oct 2014
Mate/Engineer
M.V Beyond
Beyond was a busy yacht to man having just 4 crew to do charters, yard periods and cross the Atlantic. I learnt much engineering and was able to take over the role from the Captain.
Feb 2010 - Mar 2012
Chief Mate
M.Y Bulldog
By far the biggest test on this boat was completing a mast to waterline paint and varnish job in just 3 weeks before the Monaco GP which was a very busy charter with 60 day guests and night time parties for 450, followed by an intense season of charters.
Apr 2009 - Sep 2009
Deckhand
M.Y Lady M
The biggest challenge was a month operating down on the Antarctic Peninsular with difficult navigation amongst pack ice, tabular bergs and thick fog. Some high winds encountered in the Bransfield Strait hid the growlers from radar and the white caps made them hard to spot until a couple of cables out. Also, the anchor watch keeper had to be constantly vigilant as shifting winds meant some of our anchorages were closed by the ice very quickly.
Jul 2007 - Sep 2008
Deckhand
M.Y Antarctica
Built in 1966 this old yacht required constant rust, paint and varnish work, also lean manned running with 8 crew but designed for 12.
