Callum Henderson

RYA Yachtmaster Instructor (Sail)
RYA Shorebased Instructor (Navigation & Diesel Engine)

My name is Callum Henderson, I am a former CUYC Commodore, graduate of Trinity Hall (2020) and now full-time professional sailor. I teach RYA courses on and off the water and have worked in a variety of locations from the Caribbean to the Solent. I have raced in the double-handed round-Italy offshore racing series, Il Giro D’Italia a Vela, on board a Figaro 3, as well as racing in the RORC Offshore Series back home. I have experience in the luxury charter industry, as well as a range of offshore deliveries. I also spent three years stripping my own project boat to the bare hull before rebuilding the interior entirely and installing all new engine, electrical and plumbing systems alongside my partner, Florence (also a CUYC skipper!).
