Logbook notes
Wild beauty, long passages, and laughter among lochs.
Scotland’s unpredictable weather honed the early crew’s resilience and camaraderie — and introduced the kind of shared hardship that forges lifelong mateship.
These were still the days of “boys’ sailing trips” — informal, unbranded, but increasingly addictive. With Warboy’s irrepressible impact leading the boys ashore for parallel adventures, whisky tours, pub visits and getting into the people and culture everywhere.
No logo yet, no prop trophy, just adventure, whisky, and trust in Skipper’s steady hand at the helm.
