I've come accross a Paradox before but never sailed one . Would love to buy one but they are all, I believe home made,anyway I have a nice boat. They fascinate me and they appear to sail really well. There is one I understand at Cobnor in Chichester Harbour.

A chap near me has a blog which is worth looking at. He had a Paradox named "Faith" http://bills-log.blogspot.co.uk/2010/01/faith-paradox-sailboat.html which he sold and has recently bought another one "Minnow" which he is doing up and is the content of his most recent blogs. Lots of info about the boats and he is a nice guy, sure he would be happy to talk to anyone about them.

Sean here from the USA... :-) Thanks out to Dylan for sharing the video of my Paradox. It's an incredible little boat. Of course every boat is a compromise and it's not the "perfect" boat....but....does one really exist? LOL The more I sail it the more impressed I am with the design. For a solo cruiser and skinny water it is hard to beat. I also follow Bill's blog and have for years. There is another chap on your side of the pond that I follow also..Peter Martin.... both of these gents have inspired me with their building of their Paradox's and the adventures that they have taken. Here is Peter's blog site: http://paradoxbuild-johanna.blogspot.com/

I hope that someday we can get small boat sailing as popular with the working class folks in the USA as it is in your neck of the woods. It has not been embraced as much here in the USA...but we are working on it! :-) Glad to be a part of the forum here on YBW. I look forward to learning a ton and establishing friendships with sailors From across the Atlantic! :-)

I keep a blog of Scout's (my Paradox), and "Dauntless"' Adventures....if you want to drop by and check them out sometime....please do. The address is http://www.FullnBy.com I also maintain a youtube channel at https://www.youtube.com/user/nebwest2
