The Challenge

On August 2022 I will begin my second attempt to sail solo, non-stop, unassisted around the world from Ireland back to Ireland via the 5 great capes.
I will be using a sextant and paper charts as my primary navigation tools.
If I am successful, I will be the first Irish person to complete a solo non-stop circumnavigation of the world.
I estimate the trip will take approximately 8 months nonstop. My yacht Waxwing is a Rival 41, she is a standard production offshore cruising yacht that I have upgraded for the challenge. In my first attempt Waxwings steering was damaged after my rudder was hit by a Whale. I will spend the next few months Preparing Waxwing for our journey once more.
