Amazingly busy year so far. Looking forward to slowing down for a few days over the coming weeks and spending some quietly time with family back home in Ireland. Before that, here are just a few of the highlights from the past six months... From Düsseldorf to the Miami Boat Show, listing Tupelo Honey, then to Annapolis for the Spring Sailboat Show, giving tours aboard Fountaine Pajots I'd sold, survey days including No Brainer and Sirena, bringing Amajen to market, attending SailGP in New York with Fountaine Pajot, a Leopard 45 showing in Charleston, and finally La Rochelle for Open Days, where I had the chance to step aboard hull #1 of the new FP48 and hull #1 of the new FP55. Plenty more happened between these moments, but these are a few that stood out. Here's to the second half of the year.

UBI Maior’s JB Jiber works without the usual aluminium extruded foil. Instead, the forestay is linked to the drum and swivel and rotates to furl the sail. It means that the sail can be hoisted up and down and the halyard tension can be adjusted at any time.

Becalmed in the South Atlantic on passage from Cape Town to Saint Helena, February 2019. The following year I sailed back to the UK to complete my solo sailing circumnavigation - the Voyage of Fathom.
