One More Knot

One More Knot is our yacht, and Elan 333. Phil is an active racer, competing regulary in the Spring and Autumn with the Portsmouth Sailing Club. He also competes in the Round the Island race. It has taken years of practice but Phil and his crew have been getting better. Their highlights include:

  • winning both the 2010 Portsmouth Spring and Autumn Series
  • numerous top ten in class finishes in the Round the Island race, including 2nd in the 2009 race
  • winning the 2009 Portsmouth Autumn Series
  • winning the 2008 Elan Regatta including magnificent trophies and even a pair of skis!

    • For more details, Phil regulary updates the One More Knot Racing part of the website when there is racing new to be reported.

    We also have an independent owners review of an Elan 333. This provides useful reference information for anyone interested in the Elan 333, including polar plots and Gz curve.

    Our Quick Weather links provide a number of links to weather and tide pages, in particular for the south coast of England. This is a handy reference page without graphics to make it easy to access while mobile.

    Photos and Videos

    Our photos and videos section is a record of some of the things we get up to! Our holidays sequences include skiing, sailing. Family events include significant birthdays and anniversaries. Also included are some of the things we get up to with our friends, including days in and out, weddings and sports events.

    Some of our good times onboard our first yacht, Thirty Something are captured for all to view. This includes the traditional picture from the top of the mast. Thirty Something lived in Les Sables D'Olonne for a while, so there are also some photos of the Vendee Globe yachts, including Ellen MacArthur's Kingfisher.
