Roxane

Designed by Nigel Irens more famous for ocean racing catamarans, Roxane is a high performance/high tech traditional cruising yacht.

Her design uses carbon spars and a fully battened lug rig on a efficient and shallow draft hull (with centre board). Seen here is Mischief leading the way in the Solent Old Gaffers race a few years ago - she finished second.

Roxane is a boat Nigel designed and built for himself at just under 30 feet, there is a smaller sister ship Romilly at 22 feet.

Lots of details at Peter Holden's Roxane a& Romilly site.

Today, if you want to purchase replica watches all you need to do is go to the internet and search for online stores that specialize in replicas. Movie replicas come in two basic sizes, life size and miniature size. For example if you want to have a life size sword version of hublot replica uk you can, and if you want to have fake rolex sale you can. All you have to do is sit down in your computer and search websites that bring movies to realities and purchase your very own movie replica. The internet store where you buy your replica watches uk will ship your order all you need is a credit card, and patience wile you wait for your belongings to arrive. A lot of online stores that sell rolex replica watches also have specials, and some even have free shipping if you spend a certain amount of money in their store.

We want to create a collection of 1001 Boats.

1001 Boats which inspire, boats which fascinate, boats which captured the imagination of a small boy, boats which carry grown men to adventure, boats which are too important to be forgotten, boats which are beautiful, boats which are significant.

Perhaps not 1001 Boats which you really need to “see before you die,” which was the inspiration for this blog, but your favourite boats, boats which are important to you.

They can be boats you have built, boats you have sailed, or boats which you just plain admire.

Please email photographs and text which reveal a little of the story behind the boat and why it’s important to you.

Please Donate to our Charities

Two charities have been selected which deal with fundamental human problems clean water and curing cancer.

Access to clean water continues to be a problem for millions of people around the world.

“Unsafe water and a lack of basic sanitation cause 80% of all disease and kill more people than all forms of violence, including war.”

Let’s try and change that and help prevent the deaths of 4000 children who die every day through lack of clean water.

To Donate please go to Water Aid

Cancer continues to be one of the major killer’s.

It’s difficult to find anyone who doesn’t have family, friends or colleagues who have been touched by the disease. While remarkable progress has been made in the treatment of cancer there is still a long way to go. Helping to fund research is a way we can all contribute to this giant undertaking.

To Donate please go to Cancer Research

Please email photographs and text which reveal a little of the story behind the boat and why it’s important to you.

It’s important to say that you must own copy write to any photographs, pictures and words which you send.

If you would like to get more involved we are seeking contributing authors who post regular items - please email if you would like to get involved.

Our aim is to have an interesting and extensive blog of boats which people can enjoy. If you like the blog then please use the links and to donate directly to two nominated charities.

The most important part of all of this is the boats, so here’s the call to fellow bloggers, followers or anyone who has an interest, “there really is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats."
