Lee grew up on South Africa's beautiful Cape of Good Hope. Much of Lee’s inspiration to lead his life out on the sea was formed from his grandfather, an officer in the South African Navy for 50 years! Lee first worked as a entertainer and events co-ordinator in the Dubai Hilton, and enjoys to creating and providing new experiences for the inexperienced! Lee started sailing at the age of 19 and has completed a circumnavigation, and has over 25,000 nautical miles under his belt, enabling him to have sailed around some awesome and very isolated Islands in the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
Lee has a wealth of knowledge within all aspects of sailing and has a natural way of encouraging others that are keen to learn. He has spent considerable sailing time on traditional, gaff rigged wooden ships where the art of rigging and rope work is considered as much ofa passionate as Lee's love for the sea. Through his years spent on the world's oceans, Lee has always studied the theoretical side of sailing, and he has successfully attained all his captain's licenses, and lately has enjoyed a new passion for celestial navigating via the stars.
Nina grew up in Devonshire, an area of England perhaps noted most for the inhabitants' relationship with the sea, and cream! Nina discovered a passion in culinary creation at a very early age, and in her school holidays, began acquiring her skills from an Italian chef in a local hotel. At 19, Nina was eager to travel, and soon found herself catering in private ski chalets in the Italian and French Alps, followed closely by seasons on the island of Cyprus and the coast of Portugal, working in luxury villas. Shortly thereafter, at the ripe old age of 24, Nina discovered sailing, and though it sounds cliche, immediately found happiness with the sea and the vast components to be learnt and mastered there. Nina has also completed a circumnavigation, and has a dream to build and sail a boat with Lee. Nina’s interests away from the galley are wakeboarding, skiing, snorkelling and has she is a certified diver. Nina is certain that aboard Elektra, whatever your tastes you will be tantalised and your holiday will be an all together "Elektrafying" experience!
