Jack’s passion for sailing began in his early teens, sailing anything he could get a ride on around Sydney harbour. It did not take long for Jack to catch the sailing bug, and soon enough he was enrolled with Eastsail doing his RYA competent crew and racing in regular twilight races. Fast forward a few years and Jack achieved his RYA Offshore Yacthmaster certificate and worked for Eastsail out of Rushcutters Bay part time whilst also studying Structural engineering at the University of Sydney. Jack has competed in multiple Brisbane to Gladstones and Sydney to Hobarts, and loves the challenges that ocean sailing presents. A family friend introduced Jack to the beautiful S&S34 design, and after much research and a great test sail was convinced that this was one of the best boat designs from a safety and racing perspective. Jack previously skippered the family boat Morning Star and now Azzurro, which successfully came 1st overall on ORCi and 3rd overall on IRC in the 23’ 75th Brisbane to Gladstone.
