Overview

I have been living aboard full time for the past 12 years, sailing the Vancouver waterways for over 45 years. I have raced competitively for 20 of those, have extensive sailing and local knowledge, 12 years experience volunteering as a Coxswain with the Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue, have my Marine Advance First Aid Certificate and 4 other transport Canada certifications.

I have a passion for being on the water and love to share the experience with travelers from around the world.

Frequently Asked Questions (9)

Q: Will I get seasick on Vancouver Sailing Experience on a 50 Foot Sailboat?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
