Story

🧭 My Solo Circumnavigation of Great Britain & Ireland for Alzheimer’s Research UK

Hello, I’m Paul — a sailor taking on a personal challenge to complete a solo circumnavigation of Great Britain & Ireland.

This journey is about more than adventure. I’m doing it to raise vital funds for Alzheimer’s Research UK — helping to drive forward the search for a cure for dementia.

Dementia affects millions of people across the UK, touching families, friendships, and communities. By supporting this challenge, you’re contributing directly to groundbreaking research that aims to change the future of this devastating condition.

⛵ The Challenge

I’ll be sailing alone around the entire coastline of Great Britain & Ireland in my Beneteau Oceanis 321 — navigating changing weather, powerful tidal streams, and long stretches at sea.

This is a true endurance challenge that will test both seamanship and resilience.
