Product Information

As I wandered along the beach to where the boats were drawn up a man came up to me and said, 'Are you t aware that women are t allowed in the yacht club?' 'No, ' I replied in amazement. 'Who sails the boats then?' Such were the words of a feisty young English traveller on her arrival in Australia in the 1960s. Jenifer Simpson joined forces with ather adventurous soul, Simon Simpson, and together they went on to achieve what has never been done before or duplicated since. -They built a 'portable' yacht - the shallow draught 'Iota', easy and cheap to carry on a ship as deck cargo. For over ten years Simon and Jenifer shipped this 'smallest viable particle of ocean-going seaworthiness and comfort' to the islands of the Paci fic and New Guinea, the West Indies and Southeast Asia, and for a few weeks at a time sailed in the world's most beautiful waters. Here was a solution to the dilemma of how to go cruising and afford it too. While Simon held down the job he loved, Jenifer travelled with Iota, keeping her shipshape and cutting through miles of red tape, delighting in new cultures and companions. Surviving monstrous seas and dead calms - and assorted engines - 'Iota' sturdily ful filled her owners' dreams.
