This weeks video is a boat tour of Waxwing, the aft cockpit version of the Rival 41.
I hope you enjoy a look around.

Great content again Peter. i watched a film on youtube last night called deep water all about Donald Crowhurst in the first 'round the world golden globe race' of 1968. tragic, gripping, epic! That southern ocean looks Terrifying and isnt for the faint hearted, ill be honest i had no idea about how scary and testing a round the world voyage actually is!!
So my question to you Peter, is are you a little bit apprehensive about what you are heading into? scared? excited? all of those things?
at first i admired you due to the longevity of your journey, but now i realise its not only boredom and solitude that you have to overcome, Rather elements that most of us will never ever come up against.
I fully understand if you dont want to spill your feelings in reply to a comment, but at the same time, id love to know if you have any fear over the elements you may encounter?
A great tour of Waxwing, Peter. Packed with detail on all your equipment and accoutrements. And very well presented in your warm personal way, alway with a smile. Good on you.
Thanks for the tour. I noticed Pat on the GGR and wondered if he was your brother – great to hear about your dad's travels too. Keep it up Peter!
We need to put together a SSB radio net next time you are on passage so we can all have a little chat with you and keep you up to date.
Hey Peter. Thanks so much for doing this video. Fantastic and very informative. Love seeing the set up and look forward to monitoring your progress.
Ps. Get well soon 👌
Awesome 👌 love the boat and setup 👌 👍 Enjoyed the video and the very best of luck 🤞🤞
✌❤🍀 🌬⛵
LOVE this video Peter, thank you. I can see why you love her. When I saw the extra chain plates at the back for a drogue I can see you’ve thought of everything. Wow, you dad looks exactly like your brother Patrick…looks like he’s right in it in GGR. I loved this episode because it’s hard to know what makes solo sailing practical. One question, about the Aries. What do you like most? (Assuming you’re going to say simplicity)…which seems apparent and smart for going around the world. Thanks again and glad to hear you’re feeling better!
She's a beauty and something to be damned proud of. I love seeing a boat that uses births for something other then just sleeping in.
Thank you for the tour. I really enjoyed that and love her lines as well. I’d love to learn more about your navigation and electrical generation. Specifically what kind of tablet you use? What kind of software? Does your AIS stand alone or integrate? Same with the weather? How much power can you generate? What kind of batteries do you use? I really admire what you’re doing here. Thank you. I love seeing this adventure through your eyes.
The best thing about cruising solo is you put things where you want. Good on you keep up the good work.
Do you have any tips as to where to find the knowledge to integrate the instruments at the chart table in a feasible way? How does one figure out how to get information onto the iPad or whatever.
What windvane did your golden globe brother go with? I watch his stuff but don't recall. Is there a "lawless" concensus on windvanes?
Can you gives us an idea of what she weighs fully loaded ?
Beautiful Peter hope your feeling better ⛵⛵
Thank you for the tour, Peter. She's a beauty!
I enjoyed the entire video.
Glad to know you are feeling better!
Wishing you all the best!
Great tour mate , cant wait to see Waxwing flying along again , hope you've seen the last of that stomach bug good luck and fair winds
GREAT video Peter. wow. what a life you have 🙂
Great tour Peter would you recommend the Rival 36ft version For solo circumnavigation ?
Wow wonderful video. I am glad you posted as on every video I am always peeking around and trying to see how you are set up. You have a lot to be proud of, all your knowledge, past experience and a wonderful boat. Glad you are feeling better, being ill is a reminder to us how blessed we are that it is just a passing thing and to some it is not. Looking forward to the next episode!
Hi Peter, where did you manage to fit your waste tank. Probably not one of the major attractions on a boat tour. Also how do you find the empty out facility at the marinas you visit and are you finding more marinas insisting on having your tank emptied on arrival.
Nice boat Peter, she will look after you well
Peter, you mentioned you love your feathering prop, who is the manufacturer of yours? Thanks
She is such a beautiful boat, she looks fast.
Hi Peter! Nice boat you got! The high bow is a big advantage for going into high seas and so she´s sailing relativly dry. I got the same with my little Contest 28, so no stress with too much showers in the cockpit. Have a nice trip further on and greetings from Germany!
Thank you. I’ve learned so much about Waxwing with this video. Are you still using old school paper navigation as backup? It sounded like you had just one Iridium for all your navigation?
As a former TV engineer, redundancy is a big deal as it is for you!
Again, thanks!
Peter, does the Aries rudder work independently from your main rudder. I always assumed it does. But your lines from it to your wheel got me thinking. Then I saw your orange Aries rudder hinged up and thought, surely that is not big enough (when compared to your main rudder) to guide your ship.
Amazed at your gadgetry on Waxwing. Obviously years of experience went into that lot, and the modifications you made to your interior.
She is a beautiful boat as she bobs up and down at anchor! ⛵️
