The Mariner Episode 18: Let's Get this Sail Up & Go Home

In this episode the saga of swapping mainsails in the middle of the Atlantic draws to a close. Let's get this sail up & go home! I wrestle with some tricky final steps to complete what amounts to a 20hr job to do the job and reflect on the fact that for every hour of the rest of the voyage my efforts will gain me precious miles and bring me home even quicker. Who is the Mariner? My name is Chris Stanmore-Major better known as CSM. I have over 300,000Nm experience in racing, cruising & expedition sailing and have raced twice around the world. I sailed solo around the world in the Velux 5 Oceans Race in 2011 (in Falcon's sister ship) becoming the 182nd person ever to circumnavigate alone. This channel is for sailors of all skill levels and backgrounds. My passion is seamanship & self reliance and helping others realize their sailing dreams on their own boats - whatever size or shape of craft that may be.
