I'm rebuilding a boat and sailing around the world. Does anyone else want to come?..

Who doesn't love a sailor?

This is such a fantastic project! Subscribed...

In another life I would do this, get skinny, grow a beard and see the world, almost certainly get some forearm tats. Tumblr bookmarked, anyway.

Wow, this looks incredible... I cant sail but can cook... :)

.

I can tie a baffling array of knots and would shimmy up the masts like some sort of amusing metaphor.
Unfortunately I can't sail or swim and am allergic to seafood and most fish. Bugger...

This is a cracking project and wish you all the luck in finishing it and sailing the high seas.
Alas i am not able to participate, but look forward to reading the updates etc.

Quite tempted by this.

Who's doing your sails / canvas work?

Dibs the Caribbean.

Can sail, can cook, can work the VHS and can do whatever else required.

Where do i sign up!

You legends.

Bloody treehuggers...

Would I need to pay extra to whip the rest of the crew and yell things like 'avast!' and 'ahoy!' and scowl at landlubbers?

This is mental, I love it. Seriously considering coming on the first leg as I'm in Norwich already, so it'd be rude not too...

Hey Sam, you might find someone here:

Thanks again for all the positivity ad interest!

When we have a system sorted to organise coming to sail with us, I will post a link, and send it to everyone who has messaged me directly too.

@TW, fortunately the original sails have been well looked after, and are made of good, heavy canvas. They still have plenty of life left in them! (see attached photo)

@hippy- no extra charge for pretending to be a pirate. In fact it's actively encouraged!

Everybody else, keep your eyes and ears peeled in the coming weeks for our forthcoming crowd-funding campaign, as this will be a great way to book a spot on the boat for any period of time you feel like (bearing in mind some legs are longer than others, and you can't get off mid Atlantic!), and it will massively help us get her in the water.

Thanks again,
Sam

Looks like an awesome project Sam and the work you have done thus far looks great! Stoked to see it complete and keen to donate once you're up and running.

Amazing project, subscribed. I can't wait to hear more updates. Any plans to sail through the Philippines on your voyage? I'm based in Manila and I quite fancy a sailing around some of the 7107 islands.

@TheLeek you may need to change your username first...

Amazing work - I hope the crowdfunding goes well.

@TRA I see what you did there!

Awesome! Subscribed.
A fantastic project! -Definitely interested in the crowd-funding campaign, and the Patagonia/Chilean coast section.

NB. The Pacific via Easter Island, to French Polynesia sounds epic!

Absolutely yes! I have worked on boats in the Philippines, and it's a country we would love to explore properly.

Love it.
