The Crew

David

Jon

Robin

In his seventy fifth year, David proves that you don’t have to start young to be a Broads sailor.  His sailing experience is limited, but includes several forays into the Solent as crew on various yachts, as well as some dinghy sailing with Robin and Jon many years ago.  He is looking forward to the trip with much enthusiasm.

Jon started sailing at school, where it was available as a sporting option.  He and Robin also raced a 505 dinghy in their teen years.  Since then his forays afloat have been intermittent, but have included dinghy sailing and coastal excursions with friends.  He has also made two previous Broads trips with Robin.

Robin has sailed since age 11 and first sailed on the Broads in 1968.  School and the 505 were replaced at university by team racing in Lark dinghies, and then in 1976 a summer season as a sailing instructor on the south coast.  Over the past few years he has returned to the Broads several times with Jon, with his family and also single-handed in Hunter’s day boats.
