After 28 years of owning boats, I'm over it.

I love boats. I can be on a boat for days.

I'm not buying a boat because of writing skits.

I'd love to have a proper sailing boat and go around the world.

If you don't succeed on your own ground, then there's no reason to succeed. Unless, of course, you really want a boat. If you're a person who feels that with a yacht, everything will be all right, then you should do whatever you have to and get the yacht.

There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.

When I'm not surfing or sailing, I am to be found at the harbour working on my boat.

I really like boats. If you want to go somewhere, you just take your house with you.

I have pushed the boat out as far as I should in terms of taking on too many things. I'm getting older and I just could not take it any more. I am now monitoring myself very closely and I'm just trying not to get into that sort of state again.

We enjoy sailing small boats, two of which I have designed and built myself.
