Hello

Hello to the world of Topsail. I am very excited to be here and to start a new chapter in my life. A big thank you to Lydia for this opportunity and all the help she has given me so far (and I hope will continue to do so in the near future).

I was born in St Olaves, where my family ran Johnson’s Yacht Station until the late 80’s. I have sailed on the Broads (and beyond) all of my life from crewing my father in Norfolk 10 (Elver) at The Norwich Frostbites at the age of 8, lasers at WOBYC in my teens and early 20’s, various river cruisers on The Broads, Flying Fifteens, Squibs and Dragons offshore at Lowestoft and Brown Boat 39 (Water Rail) with my wife, Gill and Children (grown up), Billy and Scarlett. The Broads and Boating is very much in my blood.

I will continue to add important news on the blog, here on the website, but for daily updates regarding listings and what Topsail is generally up to please visit our Facebook (Topsail Marine Yacht Brokers) and Instagram (topsail_brokers) pages

Please note email address stays as info@topsail.co.uk but the business mobile number has changed to 07909 337651

All the very best and happy boating

Rob
