Sailing was the first chapter. Building yachts became the longest one.

Sixteen years, from a small workshop with no safety net to an operation that built and launched more than 650 yachts, most of them still sailing, racing and winning today.

Looking back, I loved almost every day of it. Not because every day was easy, plenty of them were not, but because I was building something with my hands, alongside people who cared as much as I did, and watching it actually leave the shed and go to sea.

If you want the fuller track record, The Making walks through what that pressure actually looked like, on the water and on land.

Building yachts also meant living a version of the boy's dream. Winning races, sailing some of the most beautiful waters in the world. What I did not see for a long time was where it all ended. The yachts had no end of life solution. They ended up in landfill.

That awareness became concern once I saw the scale of it. Boats were only part of the picture, the same composite materials, carbon fibre, glass fibre, were used across entire industries, wind energy among them.

The concern became action. I stopped building yachts and started developing DANU™, a forever recyclable composite technology.
