Ming Ming is up for sale

[Corto]

I think is a real gem for small blue water yatchs enthusiast or for people in love with Roger Taylor books. http://corribee.org/for-sale-and-wanted/

 

[Poignard]

Worthy of a place in a maritime museum?

 

[Corto]

unfortunately here in Italy we don't have such a culture for this kind of maritime adventures, big boats, big helm, small brain.

A bit like some sailors I know

Perhaps someone could buy her, do some trips, write them up and give us a relief from these interminable "Shoal Waters sails up yet another blasted muddy creek somewhere" artciles in YM. Yes, I am feeling grumpy. I have a cold.

I am amazed at Roger's writing skills.

If it were me it would read:

Chapter 1: Sailed North for 32 days.

Chapter 2: Turned round.

Chapter 3: Sailed South for 32 days.

The death sentence for a boat Look at the state Gypsy Moth got into. Anyway I think the original Coribee is so much nicer. I remember reading an article on his adapting another classic (was it an Achilles) and thinking what a shame.

Gypsy Moth wasn't in a museum as I understand it, though. More like just dumped in a park.

Anyone know what he's up to then? New boat or is he packing it in?

Must admit, for long distance solo stuff I've found him as inspirational as moitessier .

He's converting an Achilles 24 (an Oliver Lee design). Might be done now. Remarkable man, fascinating trips but his boats are so personal that I doubt many other people would want them.

The Corribee was designed by Robert Tucker I believe.

Why don't you go for it Dylan?

'Turn Left Four Times'!

While the boat was very much fit for purpose, it was also very much fit for Rogers purpose. While I admire the sailing to the places he does in the way he does, theres no way I'd like to chop and change my boat the way he has.

Of course it was. D'oh.
