This blog began in late 2006 with the planning and preparation for a circumnavigation of the world in my 39-foot sail boat Pachuca. It then covered a successful 5-year circumnavigation that ended in April 2013. The blog now covers life with Pachuca back home in Australia.

Pachuca Re-Rigged
All of Pachuca's standing rigging was replaced in April 2024 by Edgar Vitte, the well respected rigger.
I had always regarded the 10-year limit on rigging an artifical one imposed by the insurance companies, and given the fact that I now do only occasional coastal sailing I had relied on my experience with rigging to decided when it was time to replace it. However, with Pachuca up for sale the broker and I decided that it was better to re-rig the boat now rather than to offer to do it on the sale of the boat.
