    The Interview - Neil Hawkesford - The Gleda

    Project

    • Get a copy of Neil's book A
    • Foolish Voyage here.  It is a fantastic read.  Neil
      tells the story of sailing the south coast of the UK in an 18 foot
      sailboat.   You really feel that you are along for the
      ride.  It will make you want to go back to your early 2o's and
      go on a big adventure!

      • Gleda Project to see all the details of him building his
        Wharram 38 catamaran and his current cruising blog.  
        Neil's catamaran build took eight years. In the interview, Neil
        speaks about not just building a boat, but building his future
        lifestyle.
