I'm 57, I got out of the business when my kids were born,now they have grown. I'm looking to get back into boats. I agree there's prejudice against age, luckily some of my contemporaries who stayed in the business are now leading lights. I'm a dinghy coach, which speaks to my agility. I've been sneaking in slowly as a delivery skipper. I'm going to upgrade my Yachtmaster (one of the earliest) to "professional" in a couple of weeks.

Crew agencies are ignoring me however. Let's see what happens.
