Over thirty years' experience including the following qualifications:
STCW95 Master
RYA Yachtmaster power/sail (commercial)
MCA Boatmaster
RYA Powerboat

Since 2000 I have done more than 170 deliveries covering more than 55,000 nautical miles.

Another busy and varied year
I was employed over the winter period by ML Dredging driving Split II and III dredging Sparkes Marina at Hayling Island, Ocean Village and also some work at Warsash.

Williams Shipping kept me busy at other times driving tugs, multicats, and their fast launch.

At long last the delivery work is picking with enquiries coming in almost daily. Three recent ones worth mentioning were from Mallorca to Torrevieja, Portsmouth to Bergen and Chichester to Cuxhaven.

Unfortunately I had to miss the Rodman Owners Club first meeting as I was away to Germany but am looking forward to the next one which is a cruise across the channel to Cherbourg.
