The captain went on to rebuild Timoneer, a 44m sailing yacht, which I again worked on.” The yacht sold within a few months, which was great news, until I realised I had lost a client due to the website’s success. I was tasked with creating a website to help sell the yacht. “The business’s first superyacht client came in 1997, Timoneer, a 37m sailing yacht. I began picking up other yachting projects along the way, such as the Clipper, a record-breaking, 40,000 nautical mile race around the world, putting Nav and Com PCs on all 10 competing yachts.” ![]() Preparations spanned over four years, which involved creating a website and looking after the computers, MiniM and Satc onboard. Arguably the toughest of all yacht races. My next big project involved supporting Mike Golding who was preparing for the Vendée Globe, a single-handed, non-stop around the world yacht race. “Rick and I shared an office in Hamble, the yachting capital of the UK, and with my days off I was able to look for further work. Quite different to the photography methods of today!” I would then ISDN the images to all national papers. I discovered how to connect the laptop to an Inmarsat MiniM satellite phone, dial into CompuServe at a speed of 2.4kbps, (to put this into context this is ¼ fax speed), and FTP the image to the office. The images were taken on E6 slide film, in the Southern Ocean, and then scanned to an apple laptop. “I worked for him 2/3 days a week, building a company website and developing a solution for transmitting his photos. I discussed my desire with him to set up my own business and he became my first customer.” An opportunity arose in 1997, when my good friend Rick Tomlinson, a professional photographer, decided to compete in Whitbread, an around-the-world yacht race, viewed as the pinnacle in yachting. “After completing my PhD degree in Marine Biology, I took on a sales role at Apple Computers, however, I always knew that I wanted to start my own business and have the autonomy that comes with being your own boss. ![]()
