This is a blog about a mad Welshman in his 60’s building a small boat and then sailing it around the world! Oh and he can’t sail and has never built anything remotely like a boat. He did make a wooden bowl for his CSE woodwork. However, he failed!

Well that’s the ultimate goal and as they say reach ‘for the stars…’ My letter of introduction will explain a little of the adventure but here is more technical and detailed information that will support the dream.

The boat is a Class Globe 5.80 and the race is the Mini Globe Race the following link will explain things far better than I could:
