John Rushworth's latestst adventure is a new boat and a return to his Royal Navy roots and training. Whilst offroad motorcycle riding in the Atlas Mountains, Sahara, Pyrenees, Star Mountains and
Baja has certainly thrilled - the sea - is where life's adventures began.
Atlantic Dawn was built to order in 2005 by
NB Marine of Norway.
She is a 31ft Category B Offshore Motor Cruiser - (Designed for offshore voyages where conditions up to, and including, wind force 8 and significant wave heights up to, and including, 4 m may be
experienced).
Atlantic Dawn is an
NB 840 Classic and CE rated for 12 persons. Based on the
River Clyde, she is currently in the process of being
MCA Coded. On completion she is available to charter - for
adventures "doon the watter" and further afield to the beautiful West Coast of Scotland, Ireland and the Isle of Man.
About - John Rushworth
In my twenties I was an RN Marine Engineering Artificer, my thirties an ROV pilot, forties an IT consultant, motorcycle journalist, tester and tour guide. When fifty dawned I became a health and
fitness instructor, qualifying with
YMCAfit to
CYQ Level 2, Certificate in Fitness Instructing Gym - all for fun and to
find out what all that training was doing to my body!
Currently I'm progressing my
RYA qualifications as a Skipper, after dipping my toe in the water with
Set Fair in 2007.
I retain a lifelong passion for
motorcycles. A
Mini Cooper recently provided buckets of fun, in a two wheel gap year.
I'm an avid and early adopter of toys and technology. I enjoy writing, with many technical and adventure holiday articles published. My hobbies include
Masters Swimming and
music.
Me - my
namesake - the
author -
an
ancestor and why Bradford’s Coat of Arms features
the only Boars Head in Heraldry without a tongue. Yorkshiremen also have a sense of
humour.
