Sunstone: At Home Cruising & Racing

  

 

 

 

These pages are mostly about our sailing lives aboard our boat, 'Sunstone' since we left England on our world cruise in 1997. 'Sunstone', has been our home since 1981 and she has carried us about 130,000 miles since then. We have also raced her a lot - still do occasionally - so you'll find we have a few things to say about life afloat and the competitive side of sailing as well as about our travels.
