Garth Cooper,

Dick Holness,

Colin Jarman.

Colin Jarman: Though his career as a marine photojournalist has taken him all over the world, Colin’s heart still lies in the East Coast creeks. An Essex lad through and through, mud runs in his veins and he’s never happier than when cruising wherever the tide flows and the curlews call. He is a regular contributor to ‘Sailing Today’ and has written several books on ropework and seamanship.

Garth Cooper: From learning to row on the Broads to sailing his current, beloved ‘Ngaire’, designed by Kim Holman, Garth has spent a lifetime sailing the East Coast and still finds new places to explore. After an apprenticeship at Whisstock’s boatyard in Woodbridge, Garth joined the BBC as a broadcast journalist, but now writes regularly for the magazine ‘Anglia Afloat’. He is also the Vice-Chairman for RYA East and is editor of RYA East News.

Dick Holness: Dick began sailing at Herne Bay SC at the age of 12 and was soon bitten by the dinghy racing bug which occupied him for the next 40 years. Finally tiring of un-scheduled swimming, he turned to cruising late in life and now has a Moody S31 ‘Cornsilk’ tucked away in a mud berth near Faversham. He started writing late in life, too, and was recruited by John Goode at ‘Sailing Today’ (writing the now-discontinued local news) before becoming a third of ‘ECP’. He adores quiet muddy creeks and swatchways.
