Sailing Wave Rover
Chapter 1 of Sailing Wave Rover (a 1979 Contessa 26)is all about how I rebuilt her from the keel up in 2018-19. After her launch in 2019 we (Wave Rover and me) embarked on a one year Atlantic circuit. We crossed the Atlantic twice and had some great adventures as can all be seen in the early episodes. The channel continues 20 Aug 2021 with the building of my new boat. Wave Rover hull #1 is a brand new 21foot design that has been designed by a Naval Architect. It encompasses all the things I require to fulfill the Wave Rover philosophy of keeping it small, strong, and safe. This as yet to be named craft is designed to complete a solo circumnavigation that I hope to start upon the completion of the building stage. Join me as I build and sail Wave Rover hull #1.
