In Memory of David Sinnett-Jones 1930-2004 A distinguished yachtsman, having survived cancer with the loss of a lung and part of his heart in his forties, took up the challenge of ocean sailing. From this harbour he sailed first to South Africa in a 26 foot boat, followed by a single handed voyage around the world in his self-built 'Zane Spray', becoming the first disabled single-handed Cape Horner. For his final voyage in 1999 he built a replica of the 'Liberdade' Used by his hero, Joshya Slocum, one hundred years earlier and re-enacted his voyage from Paranagua in Brazil to New York. A great hearted man with astonishing determination and courage
