I have always had a fascination with sailing ships and can fully understand why you would want to book a place on one. With me it’s less age stopping more the fact I often get terribly sea sick. I was joking with the wife that if we did the round the world yacht race, we would probably be as sick as dogs by time got to Southend.

Fantastic photos.
Thanks Jim, I do remember the Whitbread races, I seem to recall being on the Isle of wight one year when the race was passing through the Solent, I was fairly young at the time but remember it being a pretty big event.
Do you still have the jacket?, Glad you like the photos, I chose the wrong position really as only four of the twelve clippers went through Tower bridge, the rest went straight from St Catherine’s dock and down river.

I agree with you there Jim and I also wonder if this technology could work on a larger scale. I get the feeling it would be the batteries and the weight involved with them that holds back this technology.

From what I have read she has lithium ion batteries and is pretty capable to use its own power. I can’t find the original link I had read but here is the Wiki one.
