Round the world yachtsman Mike Golding, leaves ECOVER behind and sails Sir Frances Chichester's yacht Gipsy Moth IV in the Solent. To see what he thought, read the November 2008 issue of Yachting Monthly
@GipsyMothIV There was actually 5 Gipsy's. 1 and 2 were aircraft, 3 was boat which is still in commission somewhere, 4 was the one you see in the video and 5 was built for him too. This was later wrecked on rocks off Australia.
I still love No.4, I looked after her for 12 months and did the last 2 legs of her second circumnavigation. Bless her.
Does Gipsy Mothe have any sisters?I believe the hull constructors were Tufglass /Tylers.(Although no 100% on that).They surely made more than one hull from the mould. Are there any sisters still surviving in the world?
