Transforming Our £200 Sailboat Into a Family Adventure Boat

A few days ago, I found a 22ft sailboat on Facebook Marketplace for just £200. With very little sailing experience, I took a chance and sailed her 60 miles home to Falmouth. Now the real adventure begins. In this episode, I introduce my family and share our plan to transform this little Jaguar 22 into the ultimate family adventure boat. We'll be making upgrades, learning as we go, and exploring the incredible Cornish coastline together. But this isn't just about fixing up an old boat. Alongside our family adventures, I'll also be setting off on solo sailing expeditions to remote islands, hidden anchorages, and some of the UK's most incredible dive sites. As a former Royal Navy Mine Clearance Diver and now owner of DiveUK, I'll be exploring not only the world above the water, but the one below it too—from historic shipwrecks and rare marine life to wild camping at sea and everything in between. If you enjoy sailing, diving, wildlife, travel, and following real adventures from the very beginning, you're in the right place.
