Welcome: I'm Roger Hughes owner of Britannia. This site contains over eighty publshed boating articles showing all the features of Britannia, along with many related articles from splices to a children’s bedtime sailing story.

Britannia is a brigantine schooner and has three double cabins; two electric heads and powerful showers; fully air conditioned throughout and many unique features; lke a hot tub and a modern galley. She has roller furling on all five sails - including the squaresail, all contolled from the safety of the cockpit; a 45 mile radar; eight man liferaft; and a lage generator that easily runs the whole ship at sea, and many other features.

I am a professional writer, published in boating magazines in the US, UK, Australia and New Zealand and nearly all of the articles on this site have been published in various magazines.

I was suddenly widowed in April 2025, and now seeking a female partner for the rest of the journey of life, who enjoys both coast hopping and ocean voyaging.
