Kalessin of Orwell is a 33ft Westerly Storm. In 2006-8 we sailed her down to Portugal, into the Med, and home through the French canals. In 2011 we explored Baltic Germany and Denmark. After Sam's stroke we cruised gently on the East Coast, the Netherlands and Brittany, and in 2021 sailed to Cornwall and back. In 2024, following Sam's death, Camilla plans a memorial round-Britain cruise
We are not alone
By total chance (I was looking for big pictures of sailing yachts on Google images) I found this account of a couple who sailed a Westerly Longbow (a 31-footer built in the 1970s) from Ipswich to Portugal a couple of years ago. They claimed to be beginners, but they seem to have gone for it and enjoyed it. I hope we can learn from their experience.
