Author Information

Brian was born in London near 'Bow Bells', making him a 'Cockney' just before WW11. After the war he grew up in Chingford where he met Adela. After their marriage, they moved to an ancient 16th century cottage in the sleepy village of Sheering, on the Herts/Essex border; they had two children, one of each sex. Brian taught his wife to sail on the Norfolk Broads along with the 'kids', and they bought their first boat in 1969, based on the River Crouch in Essex. Brian eventually became Commodore of the Hullbridge Yacht Club, a position he held for some four years. Kiebitz was their third boat and during its ownership, in 1986, they changed their base to the Walton Backwaters. They joined the Walton & Frinton Yacht Club and have been sailing from there ever since. Brian has 63 years of practical sailing experience, starting on the River Thames in 1951, and 38 years of teaching sailing and navigation, from 1974 to 2012. Adela has 44 years of practical sailing experience, from 1966 to 2010.
