Sailing Our Way

Sailing Our Way

We are Mandy & Gordon, a married couple, living in the Channel Islands. We are trying to spend more time sailing our Westerly Oceanranger 38, Fortrose III, in & around our local waters. Our aim is twofold, firstly to showcase the beautiful waters surrounding the Channel Islands, Normandy, Brittany and the French North Atlantic coast, to hopefully encourage skippers to see just how accessible our waters are, and secondly to prove to our children and grand-children that there's life in us yet........

Birthday!!

    These videos are great. Studying day skipper theory online in China, practical in Portimao next March. Plan to buy a small boat and sail Channel Islands and Brittany one day! Also follow Sailing Gently.

    Hi, we really like the oceanranger, she’s got an easy motion & settles into the groove well. Engine access is brilliant, headroom massive, I’m 6’4” & there’s plenty of room. The services locker ends up being a dumping ground for anything you can’t find a home for, the fridge is big but set back into the work surface a long way, my wife can’t reach the bottom of it !! The engine is 28hp, small by modern standards but plenty of power. We’ve not regretted buying ours.
