Just About Sailing January 3 2019 - Galley refit continued, Origo stove, sink and fridge
Very Nearly About Sailing
Just about sailing is simply a light hearted video diary of someone who has wanted a sailing boat for as long as he can remember. Then in 2015 I decided it's now or never. Let the adventures begin! I bought a lovely Mirage 28 which I recently sailed round the South of the UK (check the short series of 13 videos April to May 2017) to a traditional boatyard in Kent for a refit prior to taking her off to venture somewhere warmer. Who knows where the adventure will take me. I would be delighted if you want to tag along with me and comment.

This is the first fit of all the new galley bits into the boat – Origo Stove, Bearmach 32 Litre Fridge and Romesco Sink. Everything is still temporary as this was a ‘proof of concept’ exercise. Also, I need to figure out where the ducting for the air blown heating is going to go – possibly behind the new cooker, so nothing will be finalised until the heating is sorted out.

VNAS July 2026 – Just a quick update. No I haven’t disappeared – everything is fine and going well
It's been a few months since I posted anything. I did say back in January that posting videos would be a bit ad hoc this year whilst I got a few small projects sorted out. This is just a quick update showing a couple of the projects - including a massive workshop re-organise and tidy up.

VNAS October 2025 – a gentle ride out around the Trough of Bowland on my Himalayan 411 – lovely!
