- Sailing 1250km on a Tahiti Wayfarer
I have just sailed the Tahiti 21 about 1250kms up the east coast of Australia. Amazing adventure. Crossed over 20 bars, a few of them were wild. Had both hulls full of water for half an hour, and she still floated well. Took a wave over the back first and then had to take another dozen side on so I didn't get any speed and submarine it. Went offshore for six days to Lady Musgrave island and went a few hundred kms north. I made a bit of an autopilot for the steering oar which took heaps of effort off me. Everyone wanted to chat. Everyone wanted to help. Possibly the most enjoyable adventure of my life.

- Exploratio Mundi (Tiki 26)
Following a long time dream, I set sail in April 2019 in the south of France. My new home is a 26 feet sailing catamaran built out of plywood. The boat design follows the rule: keep it as simple as possible. This has the advantage that one is closer to the ocean and also that there are fewer and cheaper repairs than usually on a sailboat.
