David Ramage, a qualified shipwright, with both Master V and RYA Yachtmaster ocean going tickets, built METANI, his third yacht in 3 1 /2 years to sail the world.

As a young man his first love was rowing, and during the 1990s he represented Australia on 5 different occasions including the Tokyo and Mexico Olympics winning a silver medal during that time.

But sailing was to become his main interest in life, and during the last 30 years he has accumulated some 20,000 miles which has included ocean racing in the Roaring Forties to sedate sailing in some of  the most beautiful and interesting parts of the world.

He now looks upon the Caribbean as his second home, with St. Vincent & the Grenadines being his favorite location.
