General
CREWMATE
He qualified for the London 2012 Olympic Games with crewmate Paul Snow-Hansen, and believes having such different personalities has helped them make good progress. "I think we keep our on-water and off-water quite separate, which is a good thing. We are quite professional on the water. We have systems in place so someone always has control in a certain situation," he said. (nzherald.co.nz, 04 Feb 2012)
