Timmo Elliott

Now, you sort of stepped away from the yachting industry and into Elliott Yacht Consulting.

Can you tell us about that?

Well, you know, what I did was taking a look at the many years that I've kind of accumulated in regards to building the teams and building structures and taking a step back and looking how certain things could have been improved and how to improve them.

And taking the training that I bring on hand with myself, I kind of thought, let's venture into something where we can help the current generation and of owners and crew to improve and streamline so that they're more effective.

And that's exactly what Elliott Consulting is all about in regards to also utilizing the build process of the interiors and the setups.

That's impressive.

And is there any crew placement in this as well? No, I haven't

been to that area yet, but yeah.

There was a thought about it, but I thought, well, maybe I should focus on taking little baby steps at the beginning.

Probably a good idea.

It's pretty full on.

Now, before we started, I mentioned to you that I've been plugging away at my memoir of my years in the industry and that I was so impressed with your ability to get your book written and also published.

But what inspired you to write Sailing Through the Excess?

You know, it was definitely the amount of stories that I have in my head, and there's still so many, so many more in

there.

It's just, it was wanting to get it out, you know, and then to share the experience.

I mean, there was lots of conversations over dinners and whatnot else with friends and family and people that were just like, you have so many great stories.

You really need to write a book.

And I was like, okay, you know what? This is a great thing that I've been thinking about doing, but getting it out there, as I mentioned, took a little bit.

But once you start,

it all starts to open like this floodgate opens up and you can just kind of pour out your memoirs, your memories and sense are there.

They're just waiting to be told.

It's just a matter of tapping into it and getting about.

Yeah.

It's obviously about your time on board yachts, but can you give us a couple of little tasty treats in the book that would entice us to go and read this?
