Member's blogs

Troskala
Owned by Oliver Kinchen, currently sailing in the BVis.
Sally of Hamble
Sally is a Rival 41C. We are embarking on an anti clockwise circumnavigation of the British Isles May 2014. This is a minimal blog of our location so far and planned future stops and may include the odd photo too.
Spring Dawn
is a Rival 41C currently on an extended cruise. Leaving the UK in 2011 she is now (2014) in the Med; there are plans to go further afield in 15/16 but you know how plans go! Read the blog to see how they went
Wandering Dream
A series of highlights as Steve Litson continues his voyage around the world for two years, fulfilling his dream on a Rival 38A.
Raasay
Paul and Rachel Chandler
Includes Lynn Rival's voyages since 2006, and her restoration after our captivity in Somalia.
Ian and Jackie Byrne
We bought Rivalady, a 1983 Rival 38, in August 2012 and have been updating her since. We have finally made the decision to rent our house out and are going for a sailing adventure. We depart April/May 2015 - as soon as we've got the copper coat applied! We're crossing Biscay early June as we have 2 crew joining us. Then we're either heading to Lagos for winter, or going to keep sailing across to the Carribean - we just don't know yet.
Southern Rival
A standard draught Rival 34, (Hull No. 11) fitted-out by Southern Boat Building and delivered in September 1972. We bought her in December 2013 and are her eighth owners. At present she is based in Inverness, Scotland, where we are doing some upgrades and family sailing.
JoshandHope
Josh and Katia are sailing Hope, a Rival 34 from Panama to Tonga and then on towards Micronesia
Raasay
Purchased in 2013, hull no. 6
Southern Rival
Mai Rival
Our Rival 38A is based on the Black Sea at the moment, but she's got to get back to the UK later in 2016. The obvious route is through the Med, but could the Baltic, and through Russia be an option?
Mowzer
Ongoing refit and cruise details. You can also follow the ship's mascot's view of life on Twitter @theshipzcat
S/V Calidris Alba
The intention is to document our adventures here and on YouTube/Instagram
