At the Roan Star Sailing Outlet, we naturally take a great interest in British sailing events and British sailors. We recently discovered Henry Bomby. Henry is an 18 year old British sailor who plans to sail single handed around the British Isles in 2010. His boat is "Gerunuk" is a classic, long keeled, Contessa 26, number 184 built by Jeremy Rogers in 1969.
He has planned his course in detail, as he wishes to compete in the Round Island Race, and the J80 World Championships during his voyage. As part of the challenge Henry also plans to climb the Three Peaks. These are the same Three Peaks as the competitors face in The Three Peaks Yacht Race: Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike, and Snowdon. Henry has set himself quite a challenge, and we wish him all the best for his great adventure.
