How a noted Cruising World contributor plans to mark a milestone.
For seasoned navigator and sailor Webb Chiles, a circle is still a circle, no matter its circumference.
Halfway through his latest circumnavigation, Webb Chiles made several upgrades to Gannet, his Moore 24, to make the rest of the journey safer and more comfortable.
The veteran small-boat voyager is about to set sail on the final leg of his most recent circumnavigation.
For boats equipped with a good old tiller, a sheet-to-tiller rig is the easiest, simplest, most satisfying way to tick off self-steering miles.
Serial solo circumnavigator Webb Chiles ends the most recent leg of his round-the-world voyage in the Florida Keys.
Webb Chiles has arrived in St. Lucia after crossing the equator a 3,900 mile journey from St. Helena
Solo voyager Webb Chiles is ready to set off across the Atlantic from St. Helena, bound for St. Lucia aboard his Moore 24.
Continuing a circumnavigation that began in Southern California, a singlehanded sailor and his sloop cast off lines to cross the Atlantic on the long way home.
The Pacific? No problem. It’s the islands-filled bay between here and there that a circumnavigator finds vexing.
The final few miles of a 6,000 mile journey from Darwin, Australia, to Durban, South Africa prove to be the biggest challenge of the solo crossing.
When the final curtain came down on a solo crossing from Tonga to New Zealand’s Bay of Islands, a happy ending was roundly applauded by all involved.
