Welcome / Willkommen

I’m a 26 year old Australian, currently sailing singlehanded from Holland to Melbourne, Australia on a 26ft British sailing vessel named ‘Constellation‘. I have next to no money, doing odd jobs and relying heavily on sponsors and friends, new and old, who graciously support me. If you’re interested, I suggest getting up to date with where I am, via my last reported position, or alternatively you can read about what I’ve been up to lately on the blog. The archive contains the history of this expedition, tracking my progress from nothing to where I am today. I am a software developer and artist, read more about who I am here.

Thank you very kindly to all the supporters of my Bridge Project, I really appreciate it (as does Oxfam Australia). I don’t quite have enough to purchase a bridge, but there is still lots that can be done with the money at the Oxfam Unwrapped store - So I’ll transfer the money out and go […]

I could have increased speed with a better sail configuration, having sailed 90% of the way on a single headsail. Don’t ever cross without at least one spinnaker pole! Anyway, it’s amazing to be here, and thank you […]
