Tell us how you first got involved with Sailing

Mum and dad had a sailing boat that we lived on in the summers in Sweden. And they got me and my sister an optimist.
 

There are many pathways in sailing, where has your journey taken you?

I am a commercial skipper. So I drive vessels for a living. I have worked in Europe, Caribbean and all around Australia. Wherever I go I get involved in sailing. Now we have our own racing yacht in Brisbane
