If you have been a RBYC Member for a few years, you will recall the excellent cooking skills of Mark Olorenshaw during the Scotland trip a few years ago.  Mark spent years working and instructing sail and power with Club Yachting in Tenerife before moving to Mallorca with his partner Marianna, also a RBYC Member.  He is also a diving instructor.

For the past few years, Mark, a qualified chef and past restaurant owner in his own right, took up the challenge of working on a 120 foot super yacht called Blue Attraction as a chef, travelling between the Med and Carribean, enjoying the challenge of the kitchen, sunshine and occassional trip to Cannes!

Earlier this year, Mark spent three months studying non stop at UKSA in Cowes and other traning establishments in The Solent gaining his commercial qualifications and endorsements to successfully gain his new position as First Mate on a boat called 'Lady Feryal' a 42 Metre ALFAMARINE with 11 crew to help organise and manage. 

Mark is currently heading off to be at The Monaco Grand Prix which takes place this weekend.  I hope the food on the boat is up to Mark's high standards!  Enjoy....
