Alastair caught the sailing bug at 11 years old and hasn’t spent a summer off the water since! Starting off in the Laser Pico, he has sailed everything from ye-olde CL-16’s to cutting edge Wing Foils, eventually racing Laser Radials for the BYC Laser Race Team.
A graduate of Humber College in Technical Theatre Arts, Alastair joined the BYC coaching staff in 2016 and soon found his niche with Opti Race, where he has remained to this day. Ever animated, he shares his contagious energy and love of the sport with all athletes, especially those he has the pleasure to coach. As a continuing student of the sport, Alastair is always seeking to improve.
If you find yourself in an evening or weekend race this summer, don’t be surprised if you see a familiar face staring you down as you cross the startline; when Opti training is done for the day Alastair switches caps to become Britannia Yacht Club’s Race Officer. So don’t be Over Early!!
Once the cold sets in you can find Alastair working as a theatrical lighting technician, a grip/electric on film sets, or his personal favorite: being a ski bum.
