The kindest person I've ever met. I was introduced to Nick through sailing when I was studying at Plymouth and Nick was moving to Yealmpton and bringing his boat down to Plymouth. He was looking for some new crew and I was looking for a boat to sail with. Nick invited myself and my partner Hannah out sailing and we instantly hit it off with his funny, laid back yet informative approach to racing. We would then be sailing 3 or 4 days a week with Nick in the summer. Hannah grew up racing and not long after we had been racing with Nick he amended the insurance and put Hannah on to drive the boat after a few weeks of her constructively critiquing Nicks driving. We went on to sail together for 2 or 3 years and more and more students joined the crew. Nick would often ask us to deliver the boat down to various ports in the West country and even allow us to take the boat away for the weekend without him. Who else would let a group of 4 university students take their boat away for the weekend? After leaving uni we met up less but remained in touch over the phone. We were hoping to meet up again this summer. We will miss your humor, positivity and enthusiasm.
Fair winds and calm seas Nick.
