In August 2021 I plan to sail solo, non-stop, unassisted around the world from Ireland back to Ireland via the 5 great capes,
I will be using a sextant and paper charts as my primary navigation tools.
If I am successful, I will be the first Irish person to complete a solo non-stop circumnavigation of the world.
I estimate the trip will take approximately 8 months nonstop. My yacht Waxwing is a Rival 41. The entire trip will be recorded and documented from start to finish. From preparation of Waxing to upgrades, fitting new equipment, sea trials and then the trip itself.
I have been working non-stop on this project for two years. Preparing waxwing for the circumnavigation. I have waxwing almost ready and will be showing you all of my updates on my channel.
I will also have a live tracker for people to follow my position and progress live, this will be available to view as soon as I set sail.
