Anyone Know About a Small Boat that Sailed from England to Tahiti and Capsized ?
Wondering if anyone can help? What type of boat was it?
I read about a traditional Scotish yawl, 19' I think. Sailed by a man & a woman from England to Tahiti. the photo's looked 70's?
Capsised during difficult conditions: although swamped, they (eventually) got going again by emptying jerricans and jamming them up under quarter berths to give enough freeboard to bail. After a long jury-rigged journey, they got towed the last few miles to American Samoa.
Wondering if anyone can help? What type of boat was it?

read it somewhere on or linked from the Duckworks site:
