Alix and Richard have been sailing for just 25 years. Alix is RYA Day Skipper, and Richard is RYA Yachtmaster Instructor (lapsed). They have chartered yachts in UK, France, Greece, Turkey, Australia and Canada, but Missy Bear is the first yacht they have owned. When they retired in 2019/2020 respectively, they decided now was the time to benefit fully from yacht ownership.
