Yup, that’s the one. Does your mate know of any cheap digs for three nights…14th to 16th Jan😀.

I took a 2 day dinghy sailing course in Ripon, North Yorkshire, but spent 90% of the time capsized. Dinghy sailing is tougher than it looks, so congratulations to you.

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…
