Explorer Yacht

This is the story of our Explorer Yacht, Vanguard. Her design, a 2 year build, and our journey thereafter.  Life has its chapters and we often fail to notice the page has turned.  After successful careers in the UK and USA, we decided to turn that page ourselves and go (in my case back) to sea under our own keel.   Thus began the specification and build of a yacht with the characteristics we needed. An explorer yacht typified by extreme range, rugged construction and capability of worldwide travel with short handed crew.  This is our story as it happens, how we built her, why we made our design decisions, and the adventures we sought as a family at sea.
