                                                                                  I started drawing sailing cartoons when the Whitbread round the world race called in to Auckland in 1990. I was appointed official cartoonist for the race in 1993, and did the same job for Swedish Match in the last Whitbread  in 1997/98.
                                                                                   When team New Zealand brought the America's Cup to Auckland in 2000, I started drawing a daily cartoon recording the race of the day.  I drew another daily series  for the 2003 Cup in Auckland.  In 2007 I was Luna Rossa's team cartoonist in Valencia.. 
                                                                                  From 2008  I drew cartoons recording the off the water battles of Alinghi, and the 2010 cup races.
