SAILING around the world in a TINY boat!

SAILING around the world in a TINY boat! Meet Yann Quenet, a Frenchman who designed and built his 4m yacht in his garage and decided to sail around the world... I had the privilege of chatting to him when he arrived in Richards Bay after a gruelling sail from Reunion Island, around the southern part of Madagascar.

Why is he doing this? Because it's been his childhood dream and he wants to meet new people.... Is he crazy? Some may say so. Yann is the most humble, down to earth person I have met in a long time and I love that he is always smiling and full of the joy of life!

In this video you will see inside his tiny home and find out how he sails with only one mast. He also explains the design of his boat and how he built it.

If you would like to follow his adventures and completing his circumnavigation, please check him out on Facebook or on his website.
