We are Andy, Melissa and Jack, a sailing family based in North Wales, and for the past couple of years we have been looking for a bluewater sailing yacht to take us around the world.
Well we’ve finally found her. Our new sailing yacht is a John Teal designed 38ft Steel Pilothouse Cutter. She has been standing ashore for at least 15 years and now we’re embarking on the huge challenge of refitting her and doing her up ready to go sailing around the world.
Follow along with our journey and help us with any advice and tips you have along the way.
