Tell us something about previous boats you’ve owned?
I actually owned the first Sunseeker in the US – a Sunseeker 55 Camargue. There was a dealer in New York who I knew from racing and he told me I had to check out the Sunseeker brand. At the time I was building a race boat with Cougar in the UK and went to the Sunseeker yard and loved what I saw. The Camargue was a great boat and I kept it for a year-and-a-half, then sold it for more than I had paid for it! From there I moved up to a 64 flybridge motor yacht, then an 80-foot Baia, and then a 110 Horizon. I must say I learned something from owning all of them. Then came the 40-metre Oasis. You know, you get that 5-foot-a-year disease… It doesn’t always happen on an annual basis, but sometimes you save it up and 5-feet becomes 20!
