Episode 02. Sailing Blog - Up The Creek With A Sculling Oar Sailing SV Andromeda

Hi, my name is Clive and I'm a sailor based on the British coast, attempting to restore a 6 ton wooden sailing yacht called Andromeda, built in the 1960s. In this episode I recall a short sailing trip in AWOL a 12ft open boat, known locally as a Smacks Boat. These Swallows & Amazons style boats set one lug sail on a mast with no standing rigging. They are simple and pretty. To find out more and get in touch, head to http://www.svandromeda.co.uk/
