Starting sailing at age 11 and racing at 13, Fletcher has always sailed double handers. Quickly finding himself at the front of the 405 fleet he moved up into the 29er enjoying similar success including 2nd at the Senior 29er worlds in 2006 (Weymouth). He then transitioned into the 49er climbing up the ranks collecting medals along the way.
