      So you want to have a go at going up the mast (It’s 90’ from the deck to the top).

      Ian will be sailing around the world starting in July of this year.  Ports of call along the way are as below (member name in red is who has habbed that leg):

      Madeira – Portugal
      Rio – Brazil
      Cape Town – South Africa
      West Coast (Possibly Perth) – Australia
      Wellington – New Zealand    Jimmy
      East Coast (Poss Brisbane or Sydney)  – Australia
      Singapore – Singapore    AKI
      Qingdau - China
      West Coast (San Francisco we think) – USA
      New York – USA          MONDAY
      Somewhere - Nova Scotia
      Derry – Ireland
      Somewhere - The Netherlands

      Ian and his crew will winch just one of you up to the top in each port of call, so if you want to have a go, drop me a PM.  All I ask, is that you take loads of photos/video and post them here.

          I guess they could be, but they'll lose the race if they do….................

                  The more who turn up to watch the spectacle the better, but I will have to ask Ian about whether he has the time to spend organising 2 of you.  He will be busy restocking the boat, doing media shit etc etc.  Let's hope he is way out in front in the race, then he has longer in port whilst the others catch up before the next leg…................

                              If wellington is not booked I'll fly down to meet them. Sounds like a once in a life time thing. Or maybe hemi will be keen, it's his home town after all.  Either way I'll go down and get pics 🙂

                                    Not booked.  So you are up there.  Still negotiating Port of Call in New Zealand - I will confirm….
