"You don’t buy a yacht to get from A to B. If you want to get from A to B, you get in your car. You sail for the experience and the enjoyment,” says Mike Beckett, President of the Old Gaffers Association (OGA) sailing club. With this ethos in mind, about 20 yachts are circumnavigating Britain between April and August this year to celebrate the club’s 60th anniversary. An old gaffer is a traditional-style yacht with a four-sided mainsail that was originally developed to give fishing boats more power.
