Welcome to my web site!

I have been involved with model boats virtually all of my life. From sailing boats made from matchboxes with paper sails in neighbourhood puddles to building free sailing balsa model boats and yachts to designing, building and racing International class radio yachts many which have won State and National Championships on the way. I have also spent several  years racing larger boats mainly catamarans.

I have been designing and building radio yachts since 1976 and making sails  since 1980, for all International classes and non class Radio and Model yachts including multi hulls. 

I have had many yachts built to my plans in the A Class, Ten Rater, Marblehead and IOM classes. My Sidewinder A class design has been in production in Australia for many years and was produced in Denmark during the 1990's.

As sailor I have won 4 Australian Ten Rater Titles gained a 4th place in the 1993 Ten Rater WC. I have won too many state titles to remember. Also to my surprise I won the 2006 and 2007 NSW Soling One Meter Championships, and the ACT 2009 Ten Rater Championships.
