This is how I learnt to sail from the very beginning to the present day.

My names Dave and I've always wanted to sail and the story starts in season 1 when I finally I got the chance in the summer of 2020 when I found my first £500 little wooden boat. "Mochyn Du" or "Black Pig" in English is her name and she's an 11 foot, 1984 wooden Mirror Dinghy and she's a beauty! Season 1 is all about Mochyn Du, how she taught me to sail and all the little projects and improvements I made to her. I hope you Mirror Dinghy fans will find these videos useful.

From here I progress, sailing and finding various new boats including a folding seahopper, a Drascombe Lugger and even a Biluta Packraft as I try to improve my sailing skills and prepare to go on wider adventures cruising around the UK.

There's no £100K Catamarans here, just me, my old and cheap boats, the beautiful UK waters and my sailing and DIY skills.

It's never too later to follow your dreams, so come with me as I embark on mine.
