I also teach sailing and have been a RYA qualified sailing instructor for over 21 years, and teach sailing every Friday evening from April to July at Starcross Yacht Club.. We have a great junior section at Starcross Sailing Club and regularly get well over 60 children out on the water. I am also a partner in a small business Gardner and Hill (www.gardnerandhill.co.uk), selling high quality photographic homewares which I run with a colleague in my spare time. Any other free time revolves around my family, and my cat and dog, singing in a local choir, playing the flute and recorder in a small instrumental group, swimming, sailing and walking.
