Mick started working at sea from the age of 16 for 25 years as a seaman with the Royal Navy. During that time, he gained a huge respect for the sea and never underestimated its power.
It was through the Navy that Mick was introduced to sailing and quickly realised a love for the sport which he still enjoys.
Mick has been a freelance Sailing Instructor since around 2010. He admits that he still gets a sense of enjoyment from getting a yacht safely from A to B, from his students/crew having fun whilst learning during the many passages he has skippered.
Mick is a RYA Instructor and Commercially Endorsed Yacht Master.
