In December 2022, 'Sofa to Sailboat' will use a tiny 50-year-old 'dinghy with a lid', a Leisure 17 sailboat to cross the Atlantic Ocean alone and unassisted in aid of four charities.

The skipper 'JK' is a health retired Emergency Service volunteer. He started the project as a way to assist and focus his recovery, whilst also using the opportunity to spread help and spread hope to others.

Sofa To Sailboat has teamed up with leading manufacturers to combine new technologies to make the crossing using only renewable energy! Wind for the sails, and solar power for a rechargeable electric motor.

​

The journey has begun. Join us!
