When you set off Phil, will you post a link to your yacht, so anyone that's interested can follow?

Will do, Julie. I retire in Dec and join on Jan 17th at Airlee Beach, North East Australia. Our yacht is Quingdao.

Thanks everybody. I’ve made lots of sacrifices for this: bring on the rum and the lash. Incidentally, I’m doing the North Pacific at high latitude…burrrrr.🥶

Just in case anyone is interested there's a young guy who is renovating the 1927 Fastnet winner "Tally Ho". A Gaff Cutter.
Fantastic workmanship and a good film maker to fund it all.
Started 6 years ago and is now nearing completion.

The Duracell Yacht refit is also very interesting, using contemporary construction techniques. The Tally Ho project is outstanding…..the craftsmanship is astounding.

Okay so how do you shimmy up that mast - looks like its carbon or alloy - no crows nest to take a breather then?

You are hauled up using halyards and winches with jammers closed, but not jammed. A Lot of trust required…

Nice finish that Ash….where were you when I rebuilt the 550 F wheels😁. If my vapour blast and ACF50 finish begins to suffer, I’ll definitely rebuild using your suggestion as the finish is exactly what I was seeking at the time.👍
