Interests
I have keen interests in Sailing and Snowboarding and have recently taken up running. My sailing exploits include winning the 1991 and 1992 X99 UK Yachting championships and being runners up at the 1992 European Championships as well as taking the class trophy at the British and European Fireball championships in 1999. As yet my Snowboarding exploits have remained strictly amateur.
