Who?
My
name is Jack Daly, my birthday is on 27th September and I am currently
16. I have a huge passion for sailing which started when I moved to Kent
in 2000. I was introduced, like many people to sailing in a mirror
dinghy. From then on I have progressed through dinghies. Racing nearly
every weekend, summer and winter, I have built up sailing experience and
in 2005 was the Comet Mino national champion.
After the mirror I raced a topper for 2 years before moving onto a Comet, of which we have a large fleet at HPYC. Last season I sailed a Laser 3000, whilst sailing all if these dinghies I have also crewed for other people.
In the summer I sail at Hampton Pier Yacht Club on the North Kent coast and in the Winter at Westbere Frostbite Sailing Association. Also in the summer I am a volunteer at Westbere Sailing Opportunities, a Sailability Centre which introduced me to the wonderful charity which Sailability is.
I am a student at Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School, Faversham and am currently studying for my GCSEs. I will set off for the trip as soon as I have finished my exams in June 2008.
