Nigel Blackbourn
I grew up in New Zealand but have lived in so many countries across the world that I am losing count. What remains constant though is my involvement in the yachting industry, where I have been for the last thirty years or so. I have my licence as ships master and as engineer and now I spend my time at shipyards coordinating new build and refit projects for Y.CO. As a child I dreamt of becoming an architect, however my first job was as a boat builder and sail maker and then it went from there. I have raced in deep ocean regattas and classic regattas across the world but the pinnacle of my sailing involvement was probably as the manager of an America's Cup team. When I do get away from the water I race motorcycles - as long as I am near an engine all is good in my world.
