Dave and Dawn are a couple and have 3 children between them. They
are joint owners of New Dawn Adventures Ltd. and are dedicated to sharing their
love of sailing and the sea with similar like-minded individuals or to help
spread the joy to those less experienced people.
Whether it be for a bare-boat charter or a skippered voyage, whether for a half-day
taster through to a full week or more, we will ensure that the time spent on
New Dawn is a memorable and pleasant time for all.
Dave started his sailing experience in the waters of the Solent
over 30 years ago as joint owner of a GP14 dinghy with his father. Throughout
the long hot summers of the mid-seventies he was to be found out on the water
every day somewhere between Portsmouth, Ryde, Cowes and Fawley.
Since then the passion for sailing has remained, although the boat is now somewhat
larger!
Dave has also had a successful career in the computer industry, working for
some world renowned companies.
Dave is a fully qualified Yachtmaster and Cruising Instructor and has sailed
extensively around the SE UK coast, NE European coast, Baltic, Portuguese Atlantic,
Northern and Western Scottish Isles, crossing Biscay and the North Sea.
Dawn has arrived on the sailing scene rather later in life, having
spent many years as an accomplished horsewoman competing in dressage events
and having owned two of her own horses. She has now swapped the dressage arena
to riding the white horses of the open sea.
Dawn is also an accomplished artist and graphic designer and manages an Art
Gallery when not out on the water.
Our three kids: Grace(17), Edward(15) and Katie(13) are all enjoying the nautical life, and would be happy to accompany any families with children to help them 'learn the ropes'.
New Dawn is our brand new 2007 Jeanneau 42i sailing cruiser which
is a spacious, comfortable and stable base for all expeditions with New Dawn
Adventures.
With it's 3 large double cabins, space for up to 3 more passengers (1 single
and 1 double) in the saloon, two heads and convenient galley, New Dawn is an
ideal starting point from which to visit the beautiful SW coast of England or
to travel to France or the Channel Islands.
