Join the HJ Sailing Community

Hi Team,

We’ve recently setup a couple of new sections of the website which I wanted to update you on.

The first is the Community page. It might well be that people have spent too much time in lockdown, but we’ve had a lot of people get in touch and ask how they can get involved in our campaign.

Although its super difficult at the moment, we’ve decided to give people some easy ways to become part of the ‘HJ Sailing Community’ and to support the team in any way they can, probably remotely at the moment, but hopefully in person before too long.  Click here to find out more.

The other section is my new gofundme page, which will (touch wood) help me get to both the start and the finish lines of the 2022 Golden Globe Race.

This may be the ultimate solo race, but it really can’t be achieved alone and frankly I’m going to need all the help I can get..

In exchange for your support, I hope to continue to share this journey with you and take you along with Puffin and I on this epic adventure.

Just to give you a little taster of our current shopping list, here’s a few things the gofundme page would help to contribute towards:

Freeze dried dinner for one: £6
EPIRB Emergency Positioning Beacon: £400
Complete set of charts (maps & pilots) for the voyage: £1,000
Offshore GGR certified medical kit: £1,500
Foul weather sailing gear: £2,000
HF long range & VHF radios: £3,000
Ocean GGR certified Life Raft: £4,000
Sail wardrobe of 10 sails: £15,000+

Lots of dry socks: Priceless…

Please join us on the adventure and support the campaign in any way you can.

Many thanks,

Ian HJ
