For all of you who follow Monty on social media you will be aware that he is undertaking a challenge this year – to learn how to sail a yacht…We have a beautiful old ketch sailing boat which has now become part of the family and Monty will be writing about all aspects of learning how to sail, the challenges and the highlights of becoming a boat owner in Yachting Monthly.

His first column is out now in this month’s edition – we promise you will enjoy reading all about the antics of a newbie sailor, his family and of course first-mate Luna the Golden Retriever!
