Nic Compton was brought up on boats in the Mediterranean. After gaining an Honors Degree in English at Exeter University, he tried his hand at boatbuilding for a few years. While working in Greece he bought a 32-foot (9.75 m) William Atkins double-ender, sister ship to Knox-Johnston's Suhaili, which he sailed back to the U.K. After a postgraduate course in journalism he became deputy editor, then editor, of Classic Boat from 1994 - 2000. He now works as a freelance writer, contributing to Yachting Monthly, Boat International, and Motorboats and Yachting.
