This experience was consolidated when Matt became Technical Manager, followed by Operations Director for Sunsail. Sunsail operated then, in excess of 1500 yachts worldwide in a wide range of different locations and conditions. It was Matt’s role to work with the boat builders on delivering the best boat for the customers and operation and  then to carry out warranty checks around the world on all of them, by carrying out surveys and reporting back in detail the faults and working with the manufacturers to over come the faults and issues.

In 2002 Matt became Managing Director for Sunsail and finally then leaving the organisation in 2006 to return to his passion of working with and solving issues with boats.
