Curriculum Vitae

Masthead Burgee

Profile
I am a polyester fabric burgee in need of slight repair.

Achievements
* Won the Holden Cup with Tom Stewart in 2004.

* I passed all quality control checks at RWO Marine Equipment Ltd.


Work History
15/03 - 04/11 Masthead Burgee.

As a masthead burgee my primary duty was to indicate wind direction accurately. I sailed with Tom Stewart for many years, fixed to the masthead of his Merlin Rocket dinghy. I was a trusted part of the team and despite the ravages of wind and salt spray maintained my position for eight years. During this time I helped Tom to win the Holden Cup and various other important races. In recent times the failure of my stainless steel shaft meant I became separated from Tom and his dinghy. I feel that with the addition of a relatively inexpensive replacement stainless steel shaft I could once again compete at the highest levels of dinghy sailing.


Education
I was manufactured by RWO Marine Equipment Ltd at their plant in Benfleet, Essex and passed all quality control tests.

Spare Time Activities
Between races I used to hang out with other pieces of dinghy racing equipment. I have recently discovered the beach life though I do miss the high pressure atmosphere of race days.

Fish Crate

Curriculum Vitae

Stacking Fish Crate

Profile
I am an injection moulded plastic stacking fish crate.

Achievements
* I was used for five years aboard the fishing boat SCH 7 known as "Lucky Seven" to transfer fish from the hold to portside.

* I passed all quality control checks at Craemer UK Ltd.


Work History
15/06 - 03/11 Fish Storage.

My main duties were to store fish that had been taken from the hold so that they could be transferred to portside. I would then accompany the fish to United Fish Auctions in Stellendam where they were sold. I was owned by United Fish Auctions but provided for use by the captain of Lucky Seven, a small fishing vessel that operated out of Rotterdam.


Education
I was manufactured in Great Britain by Craemer UK Ltd of Telford Shropshire. I was injection moulded from high-quality unmixed HDPE. This choice of material in combination with the manufacturer’s claim to high quality is a guarantee for my durability and resilience.

Spare Time Activities
I have always worked extremely hard and never really had any spare time. When not carrying fish I was required to remain on standby, stacked with my mates, ready for use.
