All About Kevin

Hello there folks,  I'm Kevin Lane the owner and Kevin Lane, owner and skipper of the Catamaran, Tearaway. And he's just as cheerful as he looks
skipper of the Catamaran Tearaway.

If you know anything about boats and their owners, you won't be surprised to hear that Tearaway is my pride and joy.  I've had her for about seventeen years and, when I'm not tied up doing other things, I like nothing better than hopping aboard and making for the open water.  There's nothing like it. 

I've done two complete trips around Australia and have written two books on navigating in Australian waters.  There are currently three more books in the pipeline, and guess what?  They're about boats and navigating too!  I bet you'd never have guessed that.

When I'm not on the water, I get involved in all sorts of things, like mud brick building construction and driving buses.  But nothing compares with sailing on Tearaway.  So, as you can guess, I'm really happy to be a part of this venture.  I think it's going to be one big party, and that suits me fine.  Tearaway and good company.  What more could you want?
