Brent is the son of the owner of the sailing centre. Before Jim arrived he was considered the best sailor in town and for a good reason: his father is a former champion! Brent is not only hot on the water; he’s hot on land too. He’s a real toughie, excelling at all sports. But following the arrival of the Jolley-Rogers he gets a worthy rival in the form of Jim! Brent does not appreciate having his “supremacy” threatened and he and his cronies do all they can to make life impossible for Jim, Matilda and their friends too.
