Turner was originally apprenticed to 'Spud' Peter Rowsell, a boat builder in Exmouth with whom he won the Merlin Rocket Championships at Abersoch in 1978.
Rowsell has amongst many racing successes won the Merlin Rocket Class Championships at Abersoch Wales in 1978, crewed by Jon Turner, with a series of results which have never yet been surpassed by a later Champion of the Class.
