UKSA / Gipsy Moth IV

Gypsy Moth IV - Photo UKSA

The UK Sailing Academy is the leading national water activities centre. It has recently bought and restored Gipsy Moth IV, which became one of the most famous yachts of all time in 1967 when Sir Francis Chichester completed the first solo circumnavigation with one stop.

Gipsy Moth IV is currently circling the world again with young sail training crews and is due to return in 2007. She will then be dedicated for shorter sail training voyages in the UK.
