The years of professional sailing - and launching books onto an unsuspecting world - meant some familiarity with being interviewed. And that helped when it came to switching to the other side of the microphone, which was good, because I was a late-comer to broadcasting...
I started working on the live, in-port race commentary for the Volvo Ocean Race 2008-09. Then in 2010 and 2011 I worked on Red Handed TV's coverage of the World Match Racing Tour, doing live commentary, and scripting and producing highlights shows. In 2011, I anchored the coverage of the Royal Television Society's Best Live Event award winner - Red Handed's coverage of The Monsoon Cup.
