21’ sloop to sail around the world? That’s a small boat on a BIG ocean.

If was pretty much assured to run into trouble, it just happened earlier rather than later.

As they say, "It's a small world"

But not that small, I think.

How do you mess up motor sailing a 21 footer?

Oops. That doesn’t happen if you buy something dry that holds still, like a bar.

Cold winds were almost at gale force strength, throwing up 15ft waves as Mr Mustapha ventured out on his solo voyage aboard his new boat

Ah, that's how.

Things have really deteriorated in GB if a 21' sloop is now a "yacht".

Reminds me of obozo's plans for the U.S. Navy:

Photobucket

Armed with a single MA-2 .50 caliber Browning, this much feared naval vessel carries up to 30 rounds of aluminum piercing ammunition. It is the first in an entirely new naval architecture class -- technically, “clitoral” (not to be confused with “littoral”) -- being pushed on the Pentagon by the defense minded wussies in the Obama Administration as a cost-saving measure. If you look closely, you can see the heavy-duty seat restraint which prevents the pilot/gunner – Kamakazi Kowalski – from leaping from the vessel prior to engaging the enemy. The 12 V trolling motor – which lacks a reverse function -- propels this sophisticated craft forward at a top speed of 4 knots. Reverse travel – at approximately 35 knots -- is achieved by firing the Browning.

The no-bid contract to build 200 of these fearsome warships was to have been awarded to Obama-Soros-Emanuel Shipbuilding and Stormdoor Manufacturing (formerly General Dynamics) and will be administered by trusted Obama associate and former Chief-of-Staff Rahm Emanuel who commented that, at $12 million each, they are a bargain. They will be constructed exclusively at the company’s facility in Kenya with major subcomponent production (rivets and miscellaneous fasteners) at the company’s Harlem and Skokie plants. Delivery is expected to begin in 2024 (or as soon as the subcontractors’ funds are safely in the contractor's Swiss account).

A 21 foot sailboat is not a yacht.
