When you travel, what essential items do you take.In your hand luggage? Old and new: a sketch pad and an iPad.In your suitcase for when you arrive? Swimming trunks for the sea and asuit in case I have to attend any unexpected meetings.What's the first thing you do when you arrive at a new destination? I explore for a few hours on foot - it helps me get my bearings and a taste formy new surroundings, and the fresh air is great after all those hours in air-ports andon planes.Where would you recommend for:A luxury weekend stay? New York, it's the most exciting city in the world.The Thompson hotels there are glamorous and edgy. They're located in thecentre of various compelling neighbourhoods and they cleverly reflect the feeland vibe of each.A week's yachting holiday? Sailing slowly from Lymington in the UK downto Cornwall aboard my classic wooden ketch Zarik. An extended holiday? Driving down the Amalfi Coast in a classic Italian car.The ultimate travel experience?Sailing around Greece and Turkey. Thereare so many beautiful islands all within half-a-day's sail. The wild Cycladesare my favourite. I once took a three-month sabbatical and spent the timesailing Zarik across the Mediterranean. We cruised around the Cyclades andit was an unforgettable experience.What is your all-round favourite travel destination?Courmayeur in Italy - it's a really beautiful, bijou ski resort where the foodtastes as good as the locals look! Off the main piste is a wonderful, little-known restaurant called Chiecco, which is run by friends - it's incredible.What inspires you to travel?New experiences, tastes and people. I also love visiting international harboursto check out all the beautiful yachts. What's your one piece of foolproof advice when it comes to travelling?Slip into another world and enjoy the journey rather than fighting it.What travel ambition have you yet to fulfil?I'd love to ride a motorbike along the west coast of the United States and upinto Canada.Do you relax on holiday or try to jam in as much as possible?Both.Travel light or pack the kitchen sink?I try to travel as light as possible because it's nice to have some extra roomto bring back a few exotic treats.Take home only photos or shop until you drop for mementoes?Photos. the Hipstamatic app for the iPhone is great for taking old-schoolgrainy style pics. I've always loved vintage black and white shots in particu-lar because they're so wonderfully atmospheric. n88I sea&iI SPRING-SUMMER 2012thelastwordbeforeyou go Mark Whiteley, director of British superyacht design studioRedman Whiteley Dixon, extols thedelights ofcity walks and old photos
