Portrait :

It is a window on a diverse set of projects that are able to sit together through a common thread of Innovation, Technology, Challenge and Adventure.

This foundation, coupled with an ethos of openness, has taken us and many others through a kaleidoscope of experiences and emotions captured by the breadth of this site. Polar travel, ocean sailing, challenging the norm with new concepts and education are all in here.

This is a dynamic site, with projects 'headlining' as they have their moment.

I am delighted to announce that the next adventure for me is a long-awaited return to solo ocean sailing, with an entry in the historic Route du Rhum race; a gruelling 3,500-mile race across the Atlantic commencing on Sunday 31st October 2010.

For this we have partnered with Team Concise, last year's Class 4O World Champions who have built a brand new boat for this season, and title sponsors DMS.

Racing a high-tech Open 40 will be very different to our last project, when we built ‘Spirit of Mystery’ to recreate and celebrate the heroic journey of seven Cornishmen who sailed a 37 ft wooden lugger to Australia more than 150 years ago. Spirit is now back in the UK and will be making several guest appearances up and down the South coast, so do come and say hello if you get a chance.
