During the 1984 J24 nationals in Poole we had a lay-day (or racing was blown off) and I got to go model yacht racing with Rodney Pattison and Laurie Smith (who was helming our boat).
Two weeks later at the J24 Worlds (also in Poole) I got chummy with a US guy called Ken Read (Puma Skipper for those that don't know) and on the last night he asked me to go to Newport, RI the following spring, stay at his house and be his foredeck guy. During the 6 months I was there we raced everything from Lightenings to a Farr 40 including winning the J24 North Americans which was arguably a bigger deal than the Worlds at the time. We also managed to drink huge amounts of alcohol and generally have the time of our lives - I owe the guy a massive thanks for the opportunity he gave me  |
