Mingming & the Art of Minimal Ocean Sailing

Roger Taylor follows on from his highly praised Voyages of a Simple Sailor, taking us on three more extraordinary voyages aboard his junk-rigged Corribee Mingming. This simple, rugged 21’ yacht, developed and honed for effortless single-handed ocean sailing, goes where bigger and more sophisticated craft fear to tread. Iceland, Rockall, the Faroes, Jan Mayen, the Greenland ice, with an interlude to the Azores, are all encompassed in these enthralling adventures. Roger has a unique sailing partnership with his yacht Mingming, using her to develop his ideas on simple, harmonious voyaging.
