Josh is for me personally the most important part of the sailing team, he has not only taken me under his wing in sail training but we have got to know each other very well, enough in a fairly short time to know we are capable of double handed racing together at the highest level. This will be put to the test in the coming years as we campaign the Class 40 together both in New Zealand and internationally. Josh has an extensive and very successful yachting career to date including 100,000 nautical miles on boats as diverse as Hugo Boss the Open 60, Maximus the 100 ft maxi and his own SR 26 Jagged Edge.
