Gipsy Moth IV Sail the legend, bring history to life
Gipsy Moth IV is the boat in which Sir Francis Chichester famously circumnavigated the world in 1966-7. He sailed solo, with only one stop in Sydney, Australia, and returned to Plymouth a hero after 226 days at sea.
Built by Camper & Nicholson’s boatyard in Gosport, Gipsy Moth IV was designed purely for the purpose of attempting an unimaginable feat of seamanship. She was a true trailblazer; one of the first yachts to be purpose built for offshore solo racing.
Today, she is restored, sailing, and available to members of the public to sail, train and race aboard as part of the crew. Setting sail on Gipsy Moth IV instantly brings the heritage to life and forges an unforgettable experience of a truly remarkable boat.
