Solo Success
After the disappointments of the round Britain solo attempts by Hilary Lister and 16 year old Jonny Moore I am delighted to report that Jack Daly sailing Padiwak a 1985 vintage Corribee Mk II has finally made it back to Ramsgate the port he left on 21st June.
Daly celebrated his 17th birthday on Friday arrived home last Saturday after an epic 12 week circumnavigation of the UK and enters the record books as one of the youngest single-handed sailors to complete the voyage.
The youngster is raising money for the RYA Sailability charity and if you are so minded to donate to this worthy cause visit his web site www.sail-the-dream.co.uk
Padiwak visited Falmouth a couple of weeks ago and I sadly missed the opportunity to meet this remarkable teenager but I can only applaud a wonderful achievement.
