About
In 2005, during his preparation for a solo circumnavigation on a Finot-Conq Open 40, James encountered his future spouse, Somira Sao. Their initial perception of a fleeting romance evolved into a profound journey that involved sailing and nurturing a family at sea.
In June 2011, this adventurous family decided to sail around the world with their two older children on the Open 40. Now, they're continuing their sea-loving lifestyle on a 50' trimaran, currently anchored in the beautiful South Atlantic. Their journey is nothing short of inspiring!
Check out their impressive 50' Trimaran displayed above! And just beneath, is their their beautiful family of six.
