Sailing Dragonfly
This blog is a record of our family sailing adventures aboard Dragonfly our Sigma 38 Ocean One Design. It also records the works carried out on the boat mostly by myself. There is a focus to the sailing diary to how we have engaged our kids in this shared adventure and how so far they are as motivated to play there part in all there is to discover in maintaning and traveling aboard your own sailing boat.
