About the Author

Thomas Dolby made his name playing synthesizer for world-class artists such as David Bowie, Stevie Wonder, Joni Mitchell, Roger Waters, and Foreigner. He was an early MTV icon, earning five Grammy™ nominations, and hit the Billboard Top 5 with his song ‘She Blinded Me With Science.’ A keen sailor, from an early age he developed a passion for classic racing yachts. He has won regattas at the helm of his own wooden sailboat—a distinction which, sadly, has eluded his British compatriots (so far!) when it comes to challenging for the America’s Cup.
