Description
In this episode, we talk with Neil Hawkesford from The Gleda

from your boat and trailer.

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!
- Go to Neil's web site The
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. - For a female perspective on Gleda's adventures, go to his
partner Gail's blog Landgirl
Afloat.
