Meet the Crew
Crew Profiles: Your professional crew aboard catamaran ZINGARA, newlyweds Lee Adams and Nadine Meyers
CAPTAIN – LEE ADAMS Lee’s interest in the Maritime Industry was installed in him from the earliest age possible, owing to his grandfather being Admiral Tom Hardiman of the Port Elizabeth Navy. While at a young age he took part in bay racing and lending a hand at the local yacht club. His passion for sailing grew and after school and much thought, Lee took to the oceans on a recreational professional side as opposed to the Navy. He joined a crew and raced across the Atlantic, where he took part in regattas in Antigua and St Maarten. In the USA he was able to establish himself as a valuable crew member aboard a classic Schooner that circumnavigated the globe, and after completing his maritime studies he was fortunate to take over as skipper and gained more experience in the engineering department. Lee is an active and enthusiastic person, he enjoys all water sports. The experiences he has gained through his travels along with a jovial personality creates a pleasant atmosphere which is enough to make any guest aboard feel right at home, ready to relax and enjoy themselves.
CHEF – Tyron "TJ" Truscott Growing up in my late father's restaurant , it was inevitable to start cooking from a young age. Living by the sea and cooking was more than just a routine. Pursuing a career as a chef straight after school, this combined with my love for sport was a good start.
Trained in a French restaurant , where my inspiration of making people smile with foodled me to becoming a yacht chef. After a year in Spain, home once again, I entered into a position as a private chef for a high profile family of many different cultures.
Missing the sailing and exploring, the position urged me once again to return to furthering my career in the maritime industry.
My big passion for food, culture and people never stops growing. My dream of opening my own restaurant is on hold, but traveling and experiencing as many tastes world wide as possible and perfect my cooking to the best of my ability is where my heart is. After working in some of the best restaurants in Cape Town, South Africa, as a Master Butcher and Chef, cooking at the highest standard on the ocean is my ultimate goal.
