Welcome to the website of Jimmy Cornell, containing information on his books and boats.
FaqEntry Do you have some suggestions regarding the prevention of hull corrosion by electrolysis or do you have other instruments other than the zinc anodes to face this potentially "lethal" phenomenon?
FaqEntry Purely out of interest, do you carry either/both a drogue and parachute?
Partly due to point 2, I thought I would get both a parachute and a proper series drogue for the boat this time - to give some choice in the matter. I have ...
FaqEntry Have you had any problems with the plastic valving, sea cocks etc – or did you replace stuff?
FaqEntry Have you, or considered, reinforced the companionway hatch/washboards? It seemed a little light to me.
FaqEntry My wife and I are in the process of selling our Nicholson 32 and are contemplating buying a second hand Ovni 385 for a trip to Antartica and Svalbard.

They don't admit to having the curve, and referred me to the designer (I couldn't be bothered, as I should not have chosen such a design if I wanted a 140+deg ...
FaqEntry I have just ordered a 435 for a long trip, and I was wondering if I could clarify a few points
