He rowed in the World Rowing Junior Championships in 1972 (in the eight) and in 1973 (in the eight and the coxless pair, winning a silver medal in the latter), then he represented Oxford in the University Boat Race in 1975 and 1977, winning the latter.

In 2005, Latymer sailed single-handedly across the Atlantic Ocean, on the identical journey his father had taken some decades previously.^[1] Following the voyage which raised £40 000 for Save the Children, Latymer wrote and published the voyage in a book entitled Where the Ocean Meets the Sky (Adlard Coles Nautical, 2009), the name taken from the Rod Stewart song, "Rhythm of My Heart".^[2]

He has three children: Daily Telegraph and Tatler journalist and novelist^[3][4] Sophia,^[5][6] Rosie and the British magician Drummond Money-Coutts. Today Latymer holds several executive positions in private financial institutions in London, and was formerly chairman of the University College London Hospital Charities.^[7]
