The Crew
Dan is a very experienced full time professional skipper, with over 150,000 nautical miles made under various keels, including 15 transatlantics, multiple Caribbean circuits, several laps of the Mediterranean, and too many cross-channel trips to
mention. His relaxed, fun and enthusiastic approach as skipper is matched by his dedication and expertise in the galley. A range of culinary delights always appear from the galley regardless of the prevailing conditions!
Emily is a real water baby, there are few places that she hasn't sailed with over 200,000 nautical miles covered! Very much at home at sea, she has sailed 16 transatlantics, crossed the pacific and taken part in the RORC round Britain and Ireland race - a fun challenge as skipper of an all female crew. She has also spent many years on Global Challenge yachts, most notably sailing from the UK to Antarctica in 1999.
In addition to long distance sailing, she has also worked as a chief instructor and joint base manager at various sailing schools, as well as skippering yachts for team building and corporate events in the Solent.
