Roger Taylor și-a făcut un nume scriind cărți despre călătoriile lui solo în latitudinile nordice sfâșiate de furtuni în Corribee Mingming de 21 de picioare. Dick Durham de la Yachting Monthly îl întâlnește în timp ce reinstalează Mingming 2, un Achilles 24, pentru a afla unde va merge mai departe.

Interesting sailboat.
Having only experience sail a Catalina 22 I enjoy seeing some of the things on my wish list on the boat. The forward view port is great when you are single handed. The step & walking room on deck. I wonder if he can set up to steer from the cabin.
What's the name for that style of rig/sail?
More like this please. Much more interesting than the floating villas with a real estate agent running about showing the jacuzzi in the aft cabin..
Very inspiring Mr. Taylor.
I hope he takes a better camera with him next time. Would make even more awesome videos.
Inspiring!
This music is terrible.
Inspirational , for us older sailors.
Perhaps in only a few years 90 degrees North will be possible, not that we want it.
Bon Voyage 2014.
its great to hear all about rogers thoughts and design concepts
It was wonderful to see his boat underway. Great work.
Brilliant design from a true seafarer.So pleased to have met up with you yesterday and to hear of your adventures first hand.(And thanks for the lunch)
Just stumbled across this video, great stuff to encounter after reading and watching Mr Taylor's stuff for years.
Glad to see he found a hobby after Queen.
Been following his series on Youtube, who would have thought 10 minutes of very little happening would be captivating? Just don't let the missus know! One thing you don't appreciate fully in his own videos so much is how little the boat is…
One of my favorite sailors getting an interview with one of my favorite sailing medias!! Hell yeah!! Congrats Robert & Dick for a splendid interview!
The jester guys have given me so much knowledge.
I love the fact some of them rock the twin Keele
I want a 30ft twin Keele. A k30 fitted to look like a Hans Christian inside would be my dream.
most people talk smack about them but I just think any bonus at sea from a fin is irrelevant as what use is a boat that falls over twice a day unless you bolt legs to the side.
Ming ming is bad ass!!
Hi Roger,
What do you think of MingMing 2's sailing qualities in general and compared to MingMing 1? Why did you choose the Achilles 24, an old boat in terms of construction, design and style, and not a more modern boat?
Regards
Paul
Goog God, this man is cool.
Just ordered one of his books.
"…after 70 days, I might be ready to come ashore, I might EVEN be ready to have a bath." haha
you should buy a dive alarm next, she looks like she looks liks the bow is digging.
The spirit of the great Blondie Haslar lives on
Roger is an absolute legend. I’ve read most of his books and found them astonishing! Highly recommended to real and armchair adventurers alike.
is it me or does it need more ballast to the rear just looked abit nose down or is that a good thing?
I'm learning the ropes go easy 😉
I'd like to see a modern manufacturer get behind junk rigs. It would do better with some modern materials and design behind it.
Awesome boat!
