John
He cannot wait to take on the world.
He has salt in his veins.
‘Bring it on’ as he says.
Sailing through hectic storms seeing winds of 65+ let me tell you a story or two!!
At the age of 20 he had the opportunity to study for the RYA Yachmaster.
The year after he entered into the world ARC, he had a serious accident in the Tasman sea. Splitting open his kidney he was told he had 48hours to live with a near death experience. Let me tell you the story!
After 6 months of healing John was back on the water pursuing his dream. Working on super yachts to being a professional detailer.
The 580 challenge appeals because he can bring all of his knowledge too build a boat and race with a competative edge.
His moto will be be "Catch me if you can"!
