Nick Jaffe and his 1972 26 ft Contessa, Constellaton did it.
Nick’s goal was to sail from Europe back home to Australia and he did
it, completing the voyage in 743 days. When he started Nick had little
sailing experience and very little money.
He arrived back in Oz today (or yesterday depending on where you are). You can read more about his landfall here.
Congats Nick. You have an inspiring story.
Sadly, it seems that Nick may have to sell his boat as he can’t afford the import duty. Such a shame for it to end like that.
Thanks Adam!
Cameron: I’ve managed to hold onto the boat for now. I borrowed money from a friend, and will return to her next month and keep sailing south to Melbourne…
