The Skipper - Alex Bainbridge
Are you wondering who is behind this website? Its me on the right, Alex.
If you want to find out more about me you could take a look at my sailing CV. That is pretty boring - so instead I suggest you spend a few minutes reading about some of my adventures:
- John o’Groats to Lands end by bicycle (1993)
- London to Kathmandu overland by truck - includes being held up and shot at in Iran (1995)
- Red Sea delivery trip - includes pirates and covert fuel drop missions (2003)
Why create a website?
When not sailing, I work as a project manager on leading website and new media projects through my own company. My work has included web based video projects, ecommerce systems and enterprise content management systems. Credits have included winning a BIMA prize - the most influential industry prize in the UK new media industry. Therefore its natural to have a website.
My longer term goal is to work on web projects within the sailing world. This website is therefore a trial run for other projects.
Who produced AlexBainbridge.com?
This website is all my own work - no other web designers or developers were harmed during production of this site.
Do you want to help me?
You, individually, can help me with my sailing campaign. Yes - even you!
- You could sign up for the monthly email newsletter. The more people who I have signed up and interested, the more I can promote the site to potential website advertisers (take me to the registration page).
- You could buy a sailing watch (or sunglasses) from Alex’s sailing watch shop. Not only do you get a discount on high street retail prices - but from each purchase a direct financial contribution is made by one of my sponsors to support my sailing campaign. Do you already have a watch? - well give one away as a present!
- You could tell others about the website and the shop
I am so grateful to those who have helped so far. Every little bit helps. Thank you.
There are also kit and title sponsor packages available for the boat, and advertising packages available for this website.
