Boat: Grampian 34-2 made in Norfolk, England in 1978. Fin keel. Skeg Rudder.
I'm thinking of renaming the boat "Hard as Nails" because, bloody hell, I've put her through some rough seas and she's still going strong.
My name is Ian McFarlane.
I'm taking time out from my chiropractic career and working on a writing career to take me through retirement.
I've bought the Grampian 34 in May 2023 and set sail from Southampton, England for Tarbert in Scotland, a sea passage of 800 nautical miles.

Chapter 26: solo sailing the last 25 miles to my winter destination: Tarbert, Scotland
It was not quite the spectacular arrival that I had in the Irish Sea, but quite fitting for the end of the trip.

Infamous, it may be, but catch it at the right time and it's no problem. No drama on this one, just a nice sail and how I managed it.

Chapter 17 Anchoring In A Force 9 Gale
Переглядів 3,1 тис.Рік тому
Single handed sailing on a Grampian 34 foot fin keel . A force 9 gale is coming and I don''t have access to a safe marina. It's time to test the anchor, thankfully in a reasonably sheltered bay. I'm at the edge of the gale with gusts of 35 knots, and most importantly no swell. Hindsight is a luxury, but when you're sat waiting for the gale to arrive, there's always a little uncertainty about wh...
