Interesting small boat voyage around the British Isles web site

Here is an interesting site I came across in Small Boat Advisor magazine.  It’s about a chap called Dylan Winters who decided to buy a small, cheap old sailboat and sail around the British Isles, going up the rivers and creeks.  He is doing it over several years.  Fascinating stuff; visiting all sorts of interesting places with lots of sailing videos to watch.  He has several free videos and charges a subscription of $4.99 to watch everything.  Well worth it as Dylan is a professional videographer and the production quality is high.

I have now volunteered to distribute Dylan's DVDs of his voyage in the US. They are $25.00 for four disks which is 6 hours of sailing, visits to places of interest, nature, lots of old boats and Dylan's comments on things - very interesting stuff.  Contact Dylan to order through the website.
