THE FRIENDS OF DOLPHIN - POOLE, DORSET

Phil Cox

Born and brought up in Bournemouth but with close links to Poole as we had fishermen in the family.   I spent lots of my childhood in and around theharbour messing about in boats.   Lived away for a few years but came back as soon as I could. I can’t live far from the sea.

Approved as a skipper for Dolphin, in 2019.  I enjoy being on Dolphin because of the opportunity to take people out who would not normally have this chance.  I have RYA “Yachtmaster Coastal” and  RYA PB2 qualifications. Started boating and sailing more than 55 years ago: Kayak/dinghies/day boats/cruising yacht.  Owned a small cruising yacht for more than 10 years, and now owner of a Cornish Shrimper at Poole Yacht Club.  

I am a RNLI Safety Advisor, RNLI Poole Lifeboat Station visits team member, and RNLI Poole member of the lifeboat management group.  I am also involved with the Guide Dog Association (we have a puppy in 1st year training).
