Your Top 25 Cruising Sailors.

You could probably also add several forumites, especially those that are out there cruising at the moment.
 
As a representative of the mud slugging East Coast I would like to propose Charles Stock as an outstanding cruising sailor perhaps worthy of the list.

I would like to have to have seen him, just once cross the North Sea. I did ask him once and his reply was ' what do you want to go over there for ?'

He is in the list!
 
Forgive me if you already know these details. Chas & Shoal Waters first trip over was to Ostende and Calaise. This was followed on later occasion by attending the 50th Aniversary in Dunkirk where he returned via Rye.

Maybe i have missed the mention but didn't James Wharram sail all over, often with a crew of very scantily clad (if anything at all!) maidens. Every things I seem to remember of his exploits put him right up there in my book.

The fact that he designed and build the boats just makes him an even bigger dude.

He still is I believe. wife in 1 hull and girlfriend in the other:D
