It is hard to think of a #yacht better known beyond the wider #yachting community than GIPSY MOTH IV, and that has continued to inspire generations of young #sailors more than fifty years after Sir Francis Chichester’s epic - then unimaginable - 1966-1967 single-handed, one-stop #voyage around the world with her. http://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/596/GIPSY%20MOTH%20IV Rescued in 2004 from 37 years out of her element, and rebuilt and restored in 2005 by her original builders - among the last #wooden #boat works performed by Camper & Nicholsons - GIPSY MOTH IV has subsequently circumnavigated again. For the trust that has owned her since 2010 it is now time to pass on this iconic and beautiful #yacht to a similar body or individual to spread or be inspired by Chichester’s spirit of challenge and #adventure.

Seacocks are bronze valves in a boat and are used as a safety measure for closing off holes below the water line and keeping water out of the boat for either maintenance or emergencies. We have 4 total on Seawind, and one of them has been giving us trouble for the past couple of years. I cleaned and greased this particular seacock, and ever since, it’s seeped a bit of water into the boat. The only way I could stop the leak was to tighten the valve so much that I couldn’t turn the handle! Live right now for our patrons AD FREE is EP. 55 of Sailing Seawind! We take you through the process of lapping a seacock, Katy tackles some projects of her own, and so much more! This early live viewing each week can be available to you over on our Patreon!
