Welcome: I’m Roger Hughes and this is my schooner Britannia. There are over eighty publshed articles showing all the features of Britannia, along with many related stories, from new splices to a children’s bedtime sailing story. I am a professional writer and nearly all of the articles have been published in various magazines in the US, UK, Australia and New Zealand. I hope they are helpful.

Britannia is a brigantine schooner with 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. All five sails, including the squaresail are roller-furled from the safety of the cockpit. She has a 45 mile radar, an eight man liferaft and a lage generator that runs the whole ship at sea, and many other unique features worth exploring.

I was suddenly and unexpectedly widowed in April 2025, and now I’m hoping to meet a lady to share the rest of the journey, including but not limited to sailing.

Sincerly: ROGER.
