Introduction Hi I'm Mark, a 50-something who spends most of his spare time doing stuff with his Sea Wych 19, or helping his mate Jim with his Valiant 18 Yacht. I blog to promote the Skint Sailor Ethos: you can run a boat cheaply if you are canny enough. I started messing with boats as a kid on the Northern canals. Boats were the first vehicle with an engine I ever took charge of. Inland Waterways are too regulated and expensive. Now I mess about on the sea where things are a lot less restrictive.
Interests At the moment Sailing and restoring my 19 Foot Sea Wych Yacht.
