@barclaysuk we’ve got your boat!
Live from the refit here in the UK 🇬🇧🎤
We’ve got all the grey anti slip pads off the boat, which is a monumental achievement! While doing so, we uncovered that this used to be a Barclays sponsored boat, how neat. ⛵️

“I have had the real pleasure of sailing on the Sea Dragon on six separate voyages. They have been without a doubt some of the most exciting and memorable vacations of my life. The professional crews that you provided were outstanding in their sailing experience, their individual skills, and the openness when sharing lessons that helped improve my sailing abilities. One of the first mates coached me at the helm as we crossed from Ensenada to Oahu and I was able to make 8.5 knots to windward in only 15 knots of wind. Great fun. On that same voyage we saw a full 180 deg. “Moon Bow” as we were going off watch at 03:00 hrs. It was so surreal, it looked like an open portal to another dimension.
Sailing from Tahiti to Kiritimati to Oahu was dream sailing with the trade winds abeam for almost the entire 2,500 NM. We just cruised along enjoying the sun, sea birds, flying fish, and the disco jellyfish glowing at night. Sea Dragon was the third yacht to call at Kiritimati Island following the multi-year Covid lockdown which was another highlight. I chartered a local proa and the crew went diving on virgin reefs in the lagoon.
Up in the Pacific Northwest we saw untracked forests, whales, eagles, and lots of bears. Even saw one bear feeding on salmon swimming upstream. The natural hot spring was a nice treat.
Thank you for providing such a safe way for a retired engineer to enjoy seeing the world from the helm of a sailing vessel.
Sincerely,
Peter”
(A statement from our beloved crew member @phoebe.unfurled “In my opinion, one of the most earnest and lovable guests we’ve had during my entire stint on the boat. Such a thoughtful guy.”)

Transforming Sea Dragon’s forepeak by sanding off rust! ⚓️
Did you know rust can weaken metal and compromise safety? Regular maintenance is key to preserving any vessels’ integrity.
Stay proactive with inspections and keep your boat sailing strong!
