The Mariner Episode 20: Sailing Birthday

A birthday at sea for me and what a fantastic sunny day to have it on! I talk through the jobs that are on-going on the boat- take a look round on deck and reflect on why I enjoy solo sailing so much. 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.
